Question

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

y = four thirdsx + 8

y = four thirdsx + 3

y = -three fourthsx + 8

y = -three fourthsx + 3

Answer 1

Here's a hint: I think you have to use the slope intercept form for part of this problem. The slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Answer 4

First step is to determine the slope of the first equation >.<
so;
4x - 3y = -12
-3y = -4x - 12
y = -4/3x + 4

so the other equation has to have the same slope and pass through -3, 4.

Answer 5

so I have to graph that equation and find the slope right?

Answer 6

the slope is -4/3
and the y intercept of 4x - 3y = -12 is 4

Answer 7

It'd be y = 4/3x + 8...

Answer 8

It's difficult to explain. I usually just graph the equations given and BOOM it hits me.

Answer 9

lol

Answer 10

>.<

Answer 11

but how do you find the equation that is parallel to it

Answer 12

oh wait got it nvm mind thanks so much!

Answer 13

you graph the given options if there are any.

Answer 14

I appreciate it

Answer 15

Yeah, i hope you don't mind my asking, but why'd you call me to the question?

Answer 16

lol because I saw you in another chat and I thought you might be helpful and thx lol I really needed help

Answer 17

btw how do I give you a medal

Answer 18

Yep :)
