What is the equation of the line that passes through (4,2) and is parallel to 3x-2y=-6

1 answer:

5 0

3x-2y=-6
2y = 3x + 6
y = 3/2x + 3 so slope = 3/2
parallel lines have same slope, also has slope = 3/2

passes through (4,2)
y = mx + b
2 = 3/2(4) + b
2 = 6 + b
b = -4

equation
y = 3/2x - 4

standard form
3x - 2y = 8

Answer:

y=3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y=mx=b

You can find the slope by finding two points that lie on the line (1,1) & (0,-2)

The formula for slope is $m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{ x_{2} -x_{1} }$

You plug the values in and you get $m=\frac{1-(-2)}{ 1 -0 }$

Simplify and you get 3

The slope is 3

The y-intercept (b) is -2

Question 5.
The function given shows represents height after a certain time. The distance measures is initial distance till the distance covered when the time is calculated. The question has given us an initial distance of 100 feet and they want us to calculate the time when the egg hits the ground, or, in other words, 0 feet. So, next, we substitute this information in the equation.
