The line which is parallel to 2x-2y=-4 that passes through the
point (3,9) is x-y = -6.
Given that, 2x-2y = -4 passes through the point (3,9) then we have to find the equation of a line which is parallel to the given equation of line.
Let's proceed to find the equation of the line.
The slope intercept form of a straight line is one of the most common forms used to represent the equation of a line. The slope intercept formula can be used to find the equation of a line when given the slope of the straight line and the y-intercept( the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis).
Using the slope-intercept formula, the equation of the line is:
y = mx + b
where,
m = the slope of the line
b = y-intercept of the line
(x, y) represent every point on the line
x and y have to be kept as the variables while applying the above formula.
2x-2y = -4
-2y = -4-2x
y = -4/-2 - 2x/-2
y = 2+x
y = x+2
On comparing with y = mx+b
m = 1 and b = 2
As the lines are parallel then the slope of other line will also be same i.e., m = 1
The point from which it is passes is (3,9)
⇒ x₁ = 3 and y₁ = 9
y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)
⇒ y-9 = 1(x-3)
⇒ y-9 = x-3
⇒ y = x-3+9
⇒ y = x+6
⇒ x-y = -6
Therefore, the line which is parallel to 2x-2y=-4 that passes through the
point (3,9) is x-y = -6.
Hence, x-y = -6 is the required answer.
