Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (7, 3) and is parallel to the line y = negative 2 over 3x + 3.

Answer 1

Parallel lines have the same slope, but different y-intercepts

The slope of both lines is -2/3

To find the equation that passes through (7, 3) we can use the point-slope formula: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - (3) = (-2/3) (x - (7))

y - 3 = -2/3x + 4 and 2/3

y = -2/3x + 7 and 2/3

or

y = -2/3x + 7.67
