I have a question on writing equations of parallel lines I understand that in order for an equation to be parallel with another, they must have the same slope. here is the problem. (3,-2), y = 2/3x + 1
:
You know from the equation that the slope m =
:
Use the point/slope formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
the points given: x1=3, y1=-2
y - (-2) = (x - 3)
y + 2 = x - 2
y = x - 2 - 2
y = x - 4 is the equation
:
Check the equation using x=3, ensure that y = -2
