Really Really Need Geometry HELP!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write an equation for the line that contains the point (8, -3) and is parallel to the line x + 4y = 9.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. -4x + y = -35 B. x + 4y = -44 C. x + 4y = -20 D. x + 4y = -4

Thanks for veiwing @Agl202

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Parallel lines have the same slope. First find the slope of: x + 4y = 9 by making that into the form of y=mx+b and m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

and once you get the slope 'm', then plug that value into y=mx+b annd plug in x=8 and y=-3 and solve for b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait B. right?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Show your work please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its D :) thanks i plugged it in for the slope!!!

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

D is correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thx.
