Question

What’s the equation of the line that passes through (2,3) and is parallel to the line 12x-5y=2

A) y=12/5x-9/5
B) y=5/12x-9/5
C) y=5/12x+9/5
D) y=-5/12x-9/5

Answer 1

12x-5y=2

-5y=2-12x

y=-2/5+12/5x

should know the m=12/5

and (2,3) bring them to the line equation:

3=12/5x2+b

6/5+b=3

b=3-6/5

b=9/5

y=12/5x+9/5

Which means the answer is not in the choices.
