Question

Need help one two questions... will reward with fan & medal and its kinda urgent. Thanks its really appreciated!

1. Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 4x - 3y = -12 and passes through the point (-3, 4).

2. Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, -1) and is parallel to the line on the graph.

Answer 1

Here is the graph for #2

Answer 2

change to form y = m x + b
m is the slope
parallel lines have the same slope
for 2 points on the line (x, y) and (x1, y1) m = (y1 - y)/ (x1 - x)
use (-3, 4) as (x1, y1)

Answer 3

2) parallel lines have the same slope, m
point on the line (x, y) and given (3, -1)
y + 1 = m( x -3)
y = mx -3*m -1
use the m from above

Answer 4

Thanks but I am still confused on the first one?

Answer 5

@triciaal

Answer 6

I didn't realize you have a graph for #2 m is the slope of the line in the given graph that I didn't know about
slope = change in y/change in x

Answer 7

Oh I was confused for a second. So, would you solve with that formula? @triciaal

Answer 8

so what is the answer for #1? I'm also confused for what you put sorry haha
