Question

11.) Write the equation of the line that

passes through the given point P and its
PARALLEL to the line with the given
equation.
P(-1,2),y = 2/3x-2

Answer 1

y-2=2/3(x+1) OR y=2/3x+8/3

Explanation:

y=2/3x-2 (2/3 represents your slope)

plug into this equation y-y1=m(x-x1) (m represents your slope, y1 and x1 are you points)

so y-2=2/3(x+1) OR y=2/3x+8/3 (move the -2 over, distribute the 2/3 to (x+1) and then add 2/3 to the 2 you moved over)
