| 10. Write an equation of a line that is parallel to
the line-3x + 4y = 5 and passes through the
point (2.1)

Respuesta :

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange - 3x + 4y = 5 into this form

Add 3x to both sides

4y = 3x + 5 ( divide all terms by 4 )

y = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (2. 1) into the partial equation

1 = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] + c ⇒ c = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ← equation of parallel line
