Question

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y= -2/3x+8 that passes through (4,-5)

The answer options are as follows;


A. Y+5=-2/3(x-4)


B. Y+5=3/2(x-4)


C. Y-5=-2/3(x+4)


D. Y-4=2/3(x+5)

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

the equation for point slope form is y - y1 = m(x-x1)

parallel lines share a slope m = -2/3. the point given (4, -5) goes in place of the y1 and x1
