Question

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

Answer 1

Hey @jim_thompson5910, you busy?

Answer 2

@sourwing ?

Answer 3

what do parallel lines have in common?

Answer 4

the same slope.

Answer 5

ok, so what is the slope of the given line?

Answer 6

It says 4..

Answer 7

no, slope is 4. Solve for y and what do you get?

Answer 8

\[y = \frac{ 4 }{ 3 }x\]

Answer 9

it's y = (4/3)x + 4

Answer 10

I didn't know if you wanted the +4 or not.

Answer 11

though the 4 is irrelevant, you solved for y incorrectly. anyway, 4/3 is the slope of the new line. Now we just need to find the y-intercept

Answer 12

y = mx + b, and a point is given

Answer 13

\[B = ^{-}1\]?

Answer 14
