We know that the standard form is ax + by = c So, let's solve this problem to get correct answer y = -2/3x + 4 { multiplying each term by 3 } 3y = -2x + 12 { according to the standard form equation our x variable should be on other side so let move that} <span>{ adding 2x on both sides }</span> 2x + 3y = 12 Hence the correct option is B.
If you want to check your answer resolve your answer and see if you get the same quotient. 2x + 3y = 12 3y = -2x + 12 { subtracting both sides by -2x } y = -2/3x + 12/3 {dividing both sides by 3 } y = -2/3x + 4 { same as the quotient }
The equation for a line in slope-intercept form is , where is the slope and is the y-intercept. This means that the slope of is 4/3.
We would like to find a line parallel to which passes through the point (12, 3). Any parallel line must have the same slope, so the equation for the new line will be for some number . We know that must be equal to 3 when is equal to 12, so 3 = (4/3)(12) + b. This means that 3 = 16 + b, so b = -13.
Therefore, the equation for the parallel line is .
