Find an equation of the line containing the point (- 6, - 9) and parallel to the line containing the points (- 6, 5) and (3, - 21). Write the equation in general form: Ax + By = C.
------------
slope of the given line = (-21-5)/(3--6) = -26/9
-----
Find equation of line with m = -26/9 that passes thru (-6,-9).
---
y = mx+b
-9 = (-26/9)(-6)+b
(-81/9) = (156/9) + b
b = (-237/9)
----
Equation:
y = (-26/9)x -(237/9)
Multiply thru by 9 to get:
8y = -26x - 237
26x+8y = -237
