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

@wolfmaster I think its D

Um why do you think its D?

@chosenmatt Your answer is wrong.

oh sorry

igreen · Answer

Parallel lines have the same slope..and the slope of 4x - 3y = -12 is 4/3.

So A and B are your only 2 choices..now let's plug in (-3, 4) into each of these equations:

y = 4/3x + 8

and

y = 4/3x + 3

-----------------

y = 4/3x + 8

4 = 4/3(-3) + 8

Multiply:

4 = -4 + 8

Can you add -4 + 8? @yoyogators
