Question

Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form and general form.

Passing through (-9,9) and parallel to the line whose equation is 4x - 7y - 2 = 0

The equation of the line in point-slope form is...

Answer 1

y=4/7 x +99/7 general form

y2-y1=m(x2-x1) =y2-9=4/7(x-(-9)

Explanation:

4x - 7y - 2

slope=4/7 and b=-2/7

y=4/7 x-2/7

the slopes of parallel lines are equal. Note that two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal and they have different y-intercepts

point slope form : y2-y1=m(x2-x1) =y2-9=m(x-(-9)

y-9=4/7(x+9)

y=4/7x+36/7+9

y=4/7 x +99/7 general form

I hope it works
