Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (4, 2) and is parallel to 3x – 2y = –6?

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

sorry no :/

Answer 3

Have you seen the slope intercept form: $$\Huge y=mx +b$$

Answer 4

yes that i have seen

Answer 5

Those are Skullpatrol's favorite two words on every post.

Answer 6

Ok, so change your equation: 3x – 2y = –6 into that form.

Answer 7

so would the final equation be
Y=-3/2X+8

Answer 8

Great work :-)

Answer 9

thank you for the help sir :3

Answer 10

Now your question asks for "What is the equation of the line that passes through (4, 2) and is parallel to 3x – 2y = –6?"

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

You have the slope: -3/2 and a given point (4,2) can you give the equation of that line?

Answer 13

Y=-3/2X+8?

Answer 14

That is the equation of the original line.

You want a new equation: slope: -3/2 and a given point (4,2)

Answer 15

You need to calculate the value of b for the new line using y = (-3/2)x + b
using (4,2) for (x, y)

Answer 16

my four choices are
Y=-3/2x+8
Y=3/2x-4
y=1/2x
and
y=2/3x-4

Answer 17

another way to calculate
