Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

yeap

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

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