Answer:
y = 2x - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange 3 + 4x = 2y - 9 into this form
add 9 to both sides
12 + 4x = 2y ( divide all terms by 2 )
6 + 2x = y ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 2
• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence
y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line
To find c substitute (4, - 4) into the partial equation
- 4 =8 + c ⇒ c = - 4 - 8 = - 12
y = 2x - 12 ← equation of parallel line
