What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (9, β3) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 2xβ3y=6 ?Enter your answer in the box
Accepted Solution
A:
2x - 3y = 6 -3y = -2x + 6 y = 2/3x - 2....the slope here is 2/3. A parallel line will have the same slope
y = mx + b slope(m) = 2/3 (9,-3)...x = 9 and y = -3 now we sub and find b, the y int -3 = 2/3(9) + b -3 = 6 + b -3 - 6 = b -9 = b
so ur parallel equation is : y = 2/3x - 9 <== or 2x -3y = 27
