Find the equation of the line that passes through (-2,-1) that is parallel to 2x-3y=9.

Question

jdoe0001 · Answer

if you solve say   " 2x-3y=9."  for "y"   what would it look like?

anonymous · Answer

Oh. I would have to plug in the (-2, -1) right?

jdoe0001 · Answer

well... nope.... not quite.... is simpler if you solve " 2x-3y=9."  for "y" firstly

anonymous · Answer

Would I have to subtract the 2x and put it with the 9? 3y=-2x+9
Actually. I'm not sure. :[

yeap

anonymous · Answer

Then from there do I plug it in? Or, is there another step that I'm missing?

jdoe0001 · Answer

well... you need to isolate the "y"   so
subtract 2x and then divide by -3

anonymous · Answer

Is this what you meant? 
y=-2x+9/3

jdoe0001 · Answer

hmmm you may want to brush up your section on linear simplification first I'd think

anonymous · Answer

Okay. I'll go do that.
Thanks for the help though. :]
