Answer: y = \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{11}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line given ;

2x - 3y = 9

To find the slope of the line we will make y the subject of formula , that is

3y = 2x - 9

y = \frac{2x}{3}-3

Therefore ; the slope = \frac{2}{3}

Two lines are said to be parallel if they have the same slope

This means that the slope of the second line = \frac{2}{3}

Using the formula y-y_{1}= m ( x - x_{1} ) to find the equation of the line , we have

y - (-1 ) = \frac{2}{3} (x - 4 )

y + 1 = \frac{2x}{3} -\frac{2}{3}(4)

y + 1 = \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{8}{3}

y = \frac{2x}{3}-  \frac{8}{3}  - 1

y = \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{11}{3}

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

(-1, 9)    (he x value is placed first).

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3x + 6

y = 9

Substitute y = 9 into the first equation:

9 = -3(x) + 6

-3x = 9 - 6

-3x = 3

x = -1.
