Question 44790
Find the equation of the line that is parallel to 3x+2y=4 and has the same horizontal intercept as 2x-y=8. 
I can't get past solving each equation to y = -3/2x+2 and y= 2x-8. the parallel part is throwing me. 
-------------------------------------------------------
Parallel to y=(-3/2)x+2 means your line has a slope of -3/2
Same horizontal intercept as y=2x-8 means "when x=0,y=-8
So your line passes through the point (0,-8).
--------------------------------------------------------
And the equation of your line must be y=(-3/2)x-8
