Question

Find the equation of the line. Write the equation using function notation. Through (-3,-9); parellel to 5x+3y=8

Answer 1

Answer:

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).

f(x) = -5/3x - 14
