The line parallel to 2x – 3y = 6 and containing (2,6)
what is the equation of the line ?

First, write out the equation in slope intercept form.

-3y= -2x+6

y= 2/3x -2

The slope of the equation is 2/3, m.

Substitute the slope and coordinate into y=mx+b. Since it’s parallel, the slope remains the same.

6= 2/3(2)+b

6= 4/3+b

14/3=b

y= 2/3x + 14/3

false

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
