Question

Find the equation of the line through point (2,−4) and parallel to −6x+2y=4. Use a forward slash (i.e. "/") for fractions (e.g. 1/2 for 12). Y=

Answer 1

y = 3x - 10

Explanation:

Step 1: Rewrite 1st equation

2y = 6x + 4

y = 3x + 4

Step 2: Find 2nd equation

y = 3x + b

-4 = 3(2) + b

-4 = 6 + b

b = -10

Step 3: Rewrite 2nd equation

y = 3x - 10

And we have your parallel equation!
