Question

For geometry:( will give brainist to the correct answer!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

y = ⅔x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The line that is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24, would have the same slope as the line, 2x - 3y = 24.

Rewrite;

2x - 3y = 24

-3y = -2x + 24

Divide both sides by -3

y = ⅔x - 8

Thus, the slope of 2x - 3y = 24 is ⅔.

Therefore the line that is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24, will have a slope (m) of ⅔.

Using point-slope form, we can generate an equation that passes through (-3, -7) and is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24.

Thus, substitute (a, b) = (-3, -7) and m = ⅔ into y - b = m(x - a)

Therefore:

y - (-7) = ⅔(x - (-3))

y + 7 = ⅔(x + 3)

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Multiply both sides by 3

3(y + 7) = 2(x + 3)

3y + 21 = 2x + 6

3y = 2x + 6 - 21

3y = 2x - 15

Divide both sides by 3

y = ⅔x - 5
