Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2,-6) and is parallel

to the line 3 -
2y = 8?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x -2y = 14

Explanation:

The x- and y-coefficients can be the same. The constant needs to change to make the given point satisfy the equation.

x -2y = (2) -2(-6) . . . . . use (x, y) = (2, -6) to find the constant

x -2y = 14
