Writing the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, we have:
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Since parallel lines have the same slope, we can see that the slope of the line y = 2/3x + 1 is equal m = 2/3, so for our equation we also have m = 2/3.
Now, using the point (0, -4), we have:
So our equation is:
y = 2/3x - 4
In order to subtract fractions, we must find a common denominator, then subtract the numerators.
The common denominator (LCM(3, 5)) is 15.
We must multiply the first numerator by 5, because 3*5=15 and the second numerator by 3 because 5*3=15.
We get .
All we need to do now is subtract the numerators: .
The answer is 14/15.
