Question 768135: write the equation of a line parallel to the given line but passing through the given point y= -2/3x + 2; (9,-3)
Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = -2/3x + 2
Gradient = -2/3 (Slope)also given letter 'm'
Lines that are parallel
have the same gradient
m1 = m2
Using equation:
y - b = m(x - a)
a = 9, b = -3 and m = -2/3
y - (-3) = -2/3(x - 9)
y + 3 = -2/3x + 6
y = -2/3x + 6 - 3
y = -2/3x + 3
Or you can multiply thro by 3
3y = -2x + 9
Depends on how your teacher wants you to give
the answer.
Hope this helps.
