Question 389511
I need to write an equation of the line containing the given points and parallel to the given line. Express answer in y=mx+b forn

(-9,6); 2x=3y+8  The equation of the line is y=


2x=3y+8  
re write in the form y = mx +b
3y=2x-8
/3
y =(2x/3)-(8/3)
slope = m = 2/3
...
The slope of the required line will be the same since the line is parallel.
y= mx + b
(-9,6) the point & slope = 2/3
Find b by plugging thses values
6=(2/3)*-9+b
6=-6+b
b=12
..
slope = 2/3, b =12
The equation will be y = (2x/3)+12 
...
{{{graph(200,200,-5,5,13,-5,((2x/3)-(8/3)),((2x/3)+12 ))}}}
