Question

Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line.

(4, -3); 5x - 2y = 3

Answer 1

y=5/2x-10

Explanation:

When lines are parallel they have they have the same slope.

First we rearrange the equation to have it slope intercept form.

solve for y.

y = 5/2x-3/2

then use point slope form using the point (4,-3).

(y+3) = 5/2(x-4)

y=5/2x-10
