Question

PLZ HELP...I GIVE OUT MEDALS!!!!!



Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 4x − 3y = −12 and passes through the point (−3, 4).


A.) y = 4/3x + 8

B.) y = 4/3x + 3

C.) y = −3/4x + 8

D.) y = −3/4x + 3

Answer 1

can you find slope of the line 4x − 3y = −12

Answer 2

hartnn I can find it

Answer 3

i know :)
but its turtle's question
let her try ...

Answer 4

give me some clue to solve this questio
n

Answer 5

i don't know how to find the slope...

Answer 6

try to isolate 'y' from
4x − 3y = −12
to bring it in the form of y=mx+c

Answer 7

so... if I get rid of y in the equation, it would be 4x - 3 =-12

right...?

then if I work the problem like that I could probably figure out what X is...am I correct?

Answer 8

-3y=-12-4x
y=12+4x\3
y=4 + 4x\3

Answer 9

you can't just drop the 'y'!

Answer 10

hartnn help me

Answer 11

I know that...then when I find X...I can put Y back in then figure out what that is then go back and finish the problem...right?

Answer 12

no...
we are just rearranging the terms here...
4x-3y = -12
subtract 4x from both sides, what u get ?

Answer 13

-3y = -8

Answer 14

no you cannot combine -12 and 4x or just drop the x
you would get
-3y = -4x -12
got this ?

Answer 15

oh...I forgot you could only do that if they had the same letter behind it...or no letter at all

Answer 16

thats correct

Answer 17

soo....would it be A?

Answer 18

no....
you got this ?
-3y = -4x -12
the parallel line equation will be of the form
-3y = -4x +c
you just need to find value of c
