Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line. Please help!!

Answer 1

Answer: C   y= -3/2x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

   So you  have to know the parallel lines have the same slopes but different y- intercepts.   so we will use the same slopes but we will calculate the y -intercept.

in the points (4,5)  5 is the y value and 4 is the x value. and we will plot it into the formula  y=mx + b  where m  is the  slope and we already know the slope is -3/2  but we need to find the y intercept.

5 =  -3/2(4)  + b

5=  -6 + b

+6    +6

b= 11    so now we know the y intercept is 11  so the equation will be               y= -3/2x + 11
