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 1

if two lines are parallel it means they have the same slope :)

Answer 2

Can I get help though

Answer 3

Write the equation of the line parallel to 4x - 3y = 12 through the point (-3, 4).
4x - 3y = 12
-4x -4x
-3y = -4x + 12
/-3 /-3
y = 4/3x - 4

m = 4/3 (-3, 4)
point slope form can help you find the y intercept

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 4 = 4/3(x - (-3))
y - 4 = 4/3 (x + 3)

to find the y intercept just replace x with a zero
y - 4 = 4/3 (0 + 3)
y - 4 = 4/3 * 3/1
y - 4 = 12/3 or 4
y - 4 = 4
+ 4 + 4
y = 8 so thats your y intercept

Answer 4

Does that make sense?

Answer 5

thank you.

Answer 6

Of course! Let me know if you need help on anything else :)
