Question

The line that contains the point Q( 1, -2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is

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

Answer 1

@helpme1.2

Answer 2

\[\huge y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\] m is the slope, since we are looking for parallel, they would have the same slope so
just plug the points to the equation above

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

yup

Answer 5

so now what do I do?

Answer 6

-2/3 ?

Answer 7

subtract 2/3 *

Answer 8

no that's about it, the question didn't specify anything

Answer 9

what?

Answer 10

So this is the answer? y + 2 = 2/3(x - 1)

Answer 11

yeah

Answer 12

but

Answer 13

@nikato

Answer 14

Do the same thing as before. Make it look like Ax+By=C

Answer 15

so multiply 2/3 by x - 1 ?

Answer 16

you'r suppose to put it in a standard form??

Answer 17

Distribut

Answer 18

wait so what do I do?

Answer 19

y + 2 = 2/3(x - 1)
multiply throughout by 3
3y + 6 = 2(x - 1)
3y + 6 = 2x - 2
2x - 3y = 6 + 2
2x - 3y = 8 is the equation in standard form.

Answer 20

oh I see, thank you!
