Question

Write the equation in general form for the line passing through (-4,-3) and parallel to the line whose intercepts are (0,2) and (4,0)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -1/2 x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

first find slope of the line.

since it is parallel the slope is the same.

0-2 / 4-0 = -1/2

then use the slope and the point given to find the equation.

y + 3 = -1/2 (x +4)

y + 3 = -1/2x -4/2

y + 3 = -1/2x - 2

y = - 1/2 x - 5
