You forgot to include the given line.

We need the given line to find the slope. The slope of parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of the line of the equation you are looking for is the same slope of the given line.

I can explain you the procedure to help you to find the desired equation:

1) Slope

Remember that the slope-intercept equation form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is thye y-intercept.

If you clear y in every equation you get:

a) y = (3/4)x + 17/4 => slope = 3/4

b) y = (3/4)x + 20/4 = (3/4)x + 5 => slope = 3/4

c) y = -(4/3)x - 2/3 => slope = -4/3

d) y = (-4/3)x - 6/3 = (-4/3)x - 2 => slope = -4/3

So, you just have to compare the slope of the given line with the above slopes to see which equations are candidates.

2) Point (-3,2)

You  must verify which equations pass through the point (-3,2).

a) 3x - 4y = - 17

3(-3) - 4(2) =  -17
- 9 - 8 = - 17
- 17 = - 17 => it is candidate

b) 3x - 4y = - 20

- 17 ≠ - 20 => it is not candidate

c) 4x + 3y = - 2

4(-3) + 3(2) = - 2
-12 + 6 = - 2
-6 ≠ -2 => it is not candidate

d) 4x + 3y = - 6

   -6 = - 6 => it is candidate

3) So, the point (-3,2) permits to select two candidates

3x - 4y = - 17, and 4x + 3y = -6.

4) Yet you have to find the slope of the given equation, if it is 3/4 the solutions is the equation 3x - 4y = -17; if it is -4/3 the solution is the equation 4x + 3y = -6.

How do i find angle measurements in an isosceles triangle??
Sholpan [36]
In an isosceles triangles the sides that are congruent form two congruent angles...you should be given one of those angle measures or the other one...if you are given one of the angle measure formed by the congruent side you know the one opposite it is the same and you know all the measures of angles in a triangle = 180 so you should be able to find them all

Write a function to represent the set of ordered pairs.<br> {(2, 2), (3,7). (4, 14), (5,23)}
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of ordered pairs {(1 , 7) , (−1 , 7) , (8 , −6) , (−3 , 2)} is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(4 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (4 , −6) , (−3 , −2)} is not a

function

The set of ordered pairs {(3 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (−4 , −2) , (−3 , −2)} is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(−3 , 7) , (1 , 2) , (4 ,−2) , (12,−4)} is a function

An ordered pair represents a relationship between two values

The first value is the input the second value is the output

1. A relation is a set of inputs and outputs

2. A function is a relation with one output for each input

3. All functions are relations

{(1 , 7) , (−1 , 7) , (8 , −6) , (−3 , 2)}

∵ Each x-coordinate in each ordered pair has only one y-coordinate

∴ The relation above is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(1 , 7) , (−1 , 7) , (8 , −6) , (−3 , 2)} is a function

{(4 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (4 , −6) , (−3 , −2)}

∵ The x-coordinate 4 has two values of y (7 and -6)

∴ The relation above is not a function

The set of ordered pairs {(4 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (4 , −6) , (−3 , −2)} is not a

function

{(3 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (−4 , −2) , (−3 , −2)}

∵ Each x-coordinate in each ordered pair has only one y-coordinate

∴ The relation above is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(3 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (−4 , −2) , (−3 , −2)} is a function

{(−3 , 7) , (1 , 2) , (4 ,−2) , (12,−4)}

∵ Each x-coordinate in each ordered pair has only one y-coordinate

∴ The relation above is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(−3 , 7) , (1 , 2) , (4 ,−2) , (12,−4)} is a function
