How to find the equation of the line tha contains the point (-1, 4) and is parallel to the line 2x - 3y = 5.
\n" ); document.write( "I can get the slope of the given line. But i am getting lost using the point slope formula once I get to y -4 = 2/3x + 2/3. Could you please work through the entire equation without leaving any step out please.. Thank you so much
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "y -4 = 2/3x + 2/3
\n" ); document.write( "You can add 4 to both sides to get y = (2/3)x + 14/3, but it's not necessary. The slope is 2/3, that's all you need to know.
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have the same slope.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use y = mx + b and the point to find b.
\n" ); document.write( "4 = (2/3)*-1 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 4 - 2/3 = 10/3
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have m and b
\n" ); document.write( "--> y = (2/3)x + 10/3
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
