Question

Find an equation of the line that satisfies the given condition. (Let x be the independent variable and y be the dependent variable.) The line passing through (−6, −9)

 and parallel to the line passing through (−4, 3)

 and (8, 12).

Answer 1

y+9 = [(12-3)/8+4)](x+6)

y+9 = (3/4)(x+6) in point slope form

or

y = 3x/4 -9/2 in slope intercept form

or

3x-4y = 18 in standard form
