The equation of a parallel line in point-slope form would be f(x) = -5/3x - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, we must first find the slope of the original line. We can do this by solving for y.
5x + 3y = 8
3y = -5x + 8
y = -5/3x + 8/3
Now that we have the slope of the original line, we can use the point and slope and put them into the base form of point-slope form. Then we solve for y to get the final result.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 9 = -5/3(x + 3)
y + 9 = -5/3x - 5
y = -5/3x - 14
Then to get the function notation, we need to replace the y with f(x).
