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 2

What do two lines that are parallel have in common? Since an equation of a line only has a slope and a y-intercept, what do two parallel lines have in common?

i havent been in school for a long time and i do not remember

You might want to check this site out, they have a lot of awesome videos that explain things. This might be a good video to start with but you might be able to find better.

Answer 5

y=mx+b
to be parallel, slopes must be equal
rearrange 4x-3y=-12
3y=4x+12
y=4/3x +4
slope (m) is 4/3
sub in points it has to pass through (x=-3, y=4)
(4)=4/3(-3)+b
y intercept (b) is 8

Equation: y=4/3x+8
