Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (7, 3) and is parallel to the line y = negative 2 over 3x + 3.

y = 3 over 2x − 3
y = 3 over 2x + 3
y = negative 2 over 3x + 23 over 3
y = negative 2 over 3x − 23 over 3

Answer 2

ok, I recommend using the slope-intercept equation. do you know what that one is?

Answer 3

y=mx+b?

Answer 4

perfect, so they gave you an x and a y when they said it passed through (7,3) so start by plugging that in.

Answer 5

3=m(7)+b?

Answer 6

good, now if 2 lines are parallel, what does that mean for their slopes?

Answer 7

they're the same

Answer 8

so plug that in

Answer 9

y = negative 2 over 3x + 23 over 3?

Answer 10

keep what you had before...
