Question

Consider the line y=-3/4x-6

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (-8,-4)

Answer 1

y= (-3/4)x -6 has parallel lines with the same slope = -3/4

through the point (-8,-4) is a line with the equation

y +4 = (-3/4)(x+8) in point slope form

or

3x +4y = -40 in standard form
