Question

Write an equation of the line passing through point (7,3) that is parallel to line 4x-7y=9

Answer 1

Answer:

y= 4/7x -1  

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for y first in 4x-7y=9, which becomes y = 4/7x - 9/7, then since its a parallel line the slope stays the same which is 4/7. Then plug into this equation: y =mx+b, in which you plug in the point for the x and y values and you plug in the slope for m, so the equation becomes, 3 = (7)(4/7) + b and now solve for b in which b = -1 and now write the equation using all the corresponding things so the equation becomes: y= 4/7x -1
