A very quick way of solving this problem is to recognize and use the fact that a line parallel to 5x-2y=2 has an equation which is exactly the same as 5x-2y=2 except for the constant.

Replace that 2 (on the right side of the equation) with C, and x with -4, and y with -3:

5(-4)-2(-3)=C

and find C. C = -20 + 6 = -14.

Therefore, the equation of the line parallel to 5x-2y=2 passing thru the point (-4, -3) is 5x-2y= -14. Notice how only the constant changes.

Answer:

8/3, or 2 if you want a whole number

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the simple answer is 2/(3/4). This is nothing but 2*4/3, which is just 8/3. (I used the theorem that states that dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal)

Make an absolute value function, (coordinates are all (1,1), (2,2), (-5,5) (-1,1) etc.) and shift all the points up by 2 on the y-axis
