Answer:
3x + 4y = - 14
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 )
Given
3x + 4y = 12 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
4y = - 3x + 12 ( divide all terms by 4 )
y = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x + 3 ← 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
To find c substitute (- 2, - 2) into the partial equation
- 2 = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] + c ⇒ c = - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
y = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] ← in slope- intercept form
Multiply through by 4 to clear the fractions
4y = - 3x - 14 ( add 3x to both sides )
3x + 4y = - 14 ← in standard form
