Answer:
The equation that best represents the line that is parallel to 3x - 4y = 7 and passes through the point (-4, -2) is y = 3/4x + 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 4y = 7 and (-4, -2)
First, solve for y in the equation:
3x - 4y = 7
-4y = -3x + 7
4y = 3x - 7
y = 3/4x - 7/4
m = 3/4 (This will be the slope of the parallel line.) and (-4, -2)
Use the point-slope equation to find the equation that will best represent a parallel line:
y − y1 = m(x − x1)
y - -2 = 3/4(x - -4)
y + 2 = 3/4x + 3 (the 4s cancel out)
(3/4 x 4/1 = 3)
y = 3/4x + 1
The graph that I attached is what these two equations would look like graphed. I am not sure what you mean by two options, I'm sorry!
You put the -2 over a 1, and a 1 under the -3. On the y axis, go to -2 and put a dot. Go down three, and right one. To go up, you go up three and left one.
The first way is to cross multiply
4/5 = 28/x
4x = 5*28
4x = 140
4x/4 = 140/4
x = 35 which is the answer
=============================================
The second method is to note the denominators 4 and 28, and to ask yourself "what times 4 gets me 28?". The answer being 7, so 7*4 = 28. If you multiply top and bottom of the fraction 4/5 by 7, then you end up with 7*4 = 28 up top and 7*5 = 35 down below. This is another way of seeing how 4/5 = 28/35
Either way, the answer is x = 35
