Question

A linear equation that passes through (-6,-5) and parallel to 2x-3y=12

Answer 1

Answer:

y= 2/3x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for linear graph is y=mx + c. Let's convert the equation of the parallel line to be same as the formula:

2x-3y= 12

-3y= 12 -2x

y= 2/3x-4

Parallel lines won't ever be met because a couple of parallel lines will have the same slope(m). We know how much m is (m=2/3), then we just need to find c. We can do it by adding the value of the coordinate that the line pass (-6, -5). The calculation will be:

y=mx + c

-5= (2/3) (-6) + c

c= -5 +4

c= -1

The equation will be:

y=mx + c

y= 2/3x-1
