Question

Find a general form of an equation of the line through the point a that satisfies the given condition. a(6, −5); parallel to the line 9x − 2y = 7

Answer 1

9x - 2y = 64 If a line is parallel to another line, then it has the same slope. Which means that the desired equation will have the form 9x - 2y = ? So let's plug in the values for the point (6,-5) and calculate what the constant should be. 9*6 - 2*(-5) = ? 54 + 10 = ? 64 = ? So the desired equation will be 9x - 2y = 64
