Question

The equation 3Y -12 equals -2×5 minus X passes through the .14, -1 and is parallel to the given line what is the equation

Answer 1

The equation of the straight line is 3y - 2x = - 31

Explanation:

The equation of the given line is 3y - 12 = - 2(5 - x)

⇒ 3y - 2x = 2 ......... (1)

Now, equation of straight line parallel to equation (1), will be

3y - 2x = c ........... (2)

Now, we have to determine c.

If equation (2) passes through point (14,-1), then

3(- 1) - 2( 14) = c

⇒ c = - 31

Hence, the equation of the straight line is 3y - 2x = - 31 (Answer).
