What is the equation of a line that is parallel to -2x+3y=-6 and passes through the point (-2,0)

1 answer:

4 0

First, a line that is parallel, means a line that has the same slope as the original. To find the slope of the original equation, we have to solve for y.
-2x+3y=-6
3y=2x-6
y=2/3x-2
From this equation, we can see that the slope of the line is 2/3. For every 2 units you go up, you move three units over.

Now we need to use the point (-2,0) to find the equation of the parallel line.
y-y=m(x-x)

Plug in the point coordinates and the slope, and solve for the final equation of the line.
y-0=2/3(x+2)
y=2/3x+ 4/3

That'd be the Substitution Property. Substitute -2 for x in x + 8 = 6 and arrive at the true statement 6 = 6.

Point m is the midpoint of kL. M(1,-1) and L(8,-7. What are the coordinates of point k?

Phoenix [80]

Answer: (-6, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Midpoint Formula: $\dfrac{(x_k, y_k)+(x_L,y_L)}{2}=(x_m, y_m)$

Separate the x's and y's and solve them individually:

$\dfrac{x_k+x_L}{2}=x_m\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad\dfrac{y_k+y_L}{2}=y_m\\\\\\\dfrac{x_k+8}{2}=1\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \dfrac{y_k-7}{2}=-1\\\\\\x_k+8=2\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad y_k-7=-2\\\\\\x_k\quad =-6 \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad y_k\qquad =5$

So, the k-coordinate is (-6, 5)
