Writing the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, we have:
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Since parallel lines have the same slope, we can see that the slope of the line y = 2/3x + 1 is equal m = 2/3, so for our equation we also have m = 2/3.
Now, using the point (0, -4), we have:
So our equation is:
y = 2/3x - 4
Answer:
3x -7y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Changing the constant in a linear equation like this only changes the y-intercept. It has no effect on the slope of the line. So, we can change the constant from 4 to 0 and we will have a line with the same slope, parallel to the original, but with a different y-intercept.
The "standard form" of the equation of a line has the leading coefficient positive. We can make that be the case by using the multiplication property of equality, multiplying both sides of the equation by -1.
Parallel line:
-3x +7y = 0
In standard form:
3x -7y = 0
