Help stuck on question number 10

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2/3x - 5  or   in standard form 3y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember this fact: Parallel lines have the same slope

Step 1   Solve for y  so that the equation is in the slope- intersect form

         2x - 3y = 6

          -3y = -2x + 6  

           -3y/-3  = -2x/-3 + 6/-3

             y = 2/3 x -2        

  now we know the slope is 2/3  or

   when the equation is in Standard form Ax + By = C   you can use this fact:  slope = - A/B    so  the slope = -2/-3 = 2/3

    Remember the   Parallel lines have the same slope

     Find the y-intersect "b"     use the slope = 2/3 and point (6, -1)

      y = mx + b

       -1 = 2/3(6) + b

       -1 = 4 + b

       -5 = b    

Now write the equation of line that is parallel to the given line and passes through  point (6, -1)

y = 2/3x - 5  or  in standard form 3y = 2x - 5
