What is the equation of the line, in standard form, that passes through (4, -3) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x + y - 2 = 0? 4x - y = 13 4x + y = 13 4x + y = -13

you answer has to have $$4x+y$$ in it right?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

not $$4x-y$$ so you can forget the first one

the line you are given in the question is $\huge 4x+y-2=0$ which has $$4x+y$$ in it

and you want it to pass through $$(4,-3)$$ right?

Yes.

the $$4$$ is the $$x$$ and the $$-3$$ is the $$y$$ so lets substitute $$4$$ for $$x$$ and $$-3$$ for $$y$$ in $4x+y$ and see what we get

i.e. compute $4\times 4+(-3)$

13

yeah if you think $$11=0$$ you must be confuffled

2 years ago
OpenStudy (misty1212):

right $$13$$

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so it must be $4x+y=13$

parallel lines have the same slope 4 x + y - 2 = 0 slope is -4 passing through (4, -3) y --3 = -4(x - 4) y + 3 = -4x + 16 standard form 4 x + y = 13
