Question

Find an equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions.
y-intercept 2, parallel to the line 2x + 3y + 4 = 0

Answer 1

so the equation I arrived at is y= (-2/3)x +2 but the software for my assignment says thats wrong.

Answer 2

You have the correct answer in the slope-intercept form.

Try to put it in the form Ax + By + C = 0 and see if the software likes it.

Answer 3

3y+2x-6=0?

Answer 4

yeah.

Answer 5

I would put the x term first much like the equation for the other line:
2x + 3y - 6 = 0

Answer 6

it worked in standard form, i hate mathlab....

Answer 7

Glad it worked.
