Question 550933: my instructions are to write an equation that is parallel to the given line passes through the given point Here is the problem- 3x+4y=8; (4,-3) how would i solve this
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the slope of a line is determined by the ratio of the x and y coefficients
a parallel line has the same slope, so the same coefficients can be used
the thing that changes is the position of the line in the coordinate system
that is determined by the constant term ___ 8 in this case
to find the new constant term for the parallel line, substitute the given point into the equation
3x + 4y = ? ___ 3(4) + 4(-3) = ?
