Answer:  [I assume:  "4x 3y = 7" is really 4x + 3y = 7]

y = -(4/3)x -14/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite this as y=mx+b, where m is the slope.  

4x + 3y = 7

3y = -4x +7

y = -(4/3)x +(7/3)

The slope is -(4/3)

A parallel line will have the same slope, but a specific value of b to allow it to go through the given point (-5,2):

y = -(4/3)x + b

Enter the point and solve for b:

2 = -(4/3)(-5) + b

2 = (20/3) + b

b = 2 - (20/3)

b = 6/3 - 20/3

b = -14/3

y = -(4/3)x -14/3

passing thru (4,-2) then
y = mx +b
-2=-3(-2) + b
-2=6+b
-2-6 = b 
so b = -8

What is the midpoint of (-23,-14) and (-18,2)
zloy xaker [14]

Given two coordinates point 1 as (-23,-14) and point 2 as(-18,2).

To find the midpoint we would use the formula below;

\text{midpoint(x,y)}=(\frac{x_1+x_2_{}_{}}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

Where x1=-23, x2=-18, y1=-14, y2=2

We would substitute the values into the midpoint formula.

\begin{gathered} \text{midpoint =(}\frac{-23-18}{2},\frac{-14+2}{2}) \\ =(-\frac{41}{2},-6) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is

\text{midpoint}=(-\frac{41}{2},-6)
