Question

a line passes through the point (-3,-4) and its y-intercept is (0,9). what is the equation of the line that is parallel to the first line and passes through the point (3,-7)?

a. y=3/5x+2
b. y=5/3x+2
c. y=-5/3x-2
d. y=5/3x-2

triciaal · Answer

first I would find the slope of the first line passing through (-3,-4)
knowing that parallel lines have the same slope, use this value for the slope, find the eqn of the line passing through the point (3, -7)
