Question

help...

standard form.

The line through (1, -4) and parallel to 2x +3y = 4.

Answer 1

can you find slope of 2x+3y=4 ?

Answer 2

i don't know how, that is my problem....

Answer 3

can you isolate y from 2x+3y =4 ?

Answer 4

divide 3 on both sides?????

Answer 5

start by subtracting 2x from both sides
then divide 3

Answer 6

y=4-2x/3

Answer 7

compare that with y=mx+c
where m= slope, so what u get 'm' as?

Answer 8

4????

Answer 9

basically the co-efficient of 'x' is slope
here it is
m = -2/3

Answer 10

so, now we have slope m=-2/3 , point x1=1, y1=-4

Answer 11

just plug these in
y-y1=m (x-x1)

Answer 12

y+4=-2/3(x-1)

Answer 13

yes!
just simplify that
start by multiplying 3 on both sides

Answer 14

3(y+4)=-2(x-1)
3y+12=-2x+2

Answer 15

add 2x on both sides...

Answer 16

2x+3y+12=-2x+2
2x+3y+12=2
2x+3y=-10

Answer 17

correct! :)
