Question

Write the equation of a line parallel to the line 2x + 3y = 5 and passes through the point (9, -3)

Answer 1

First, put that equation in slope-intercept form.

2x + 3y = 5

3y = -2x + 5

y = -2/3x + 5/3

Use y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 3 = -2/3( x - 9)

y + 3 = -2/3x + 6

y = -2/3x + 3

You're welcome.

Answer 4

Oh, I never knew that. The method I used above was the only one my textbook said. Thanks for informing me!
