Question

what is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point \\((-3, 2)\\)?

\\(3x - 4y = -17\\)
\\(3x - 4y = -20\\)
\\(4x + 3y = -2\\)
\\(4x + 3y = -6\\)

Explanation:

Find the slope of the given line

Using the Slope of a Line knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Determine the slope of the parallel line

Using the Parallel Line Equations knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Write the equation in point-slope form

Using the Point-Slope Form knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Convert to standard form

Using the Parallel Line Equations knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK3 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(3x - 4y = -17\)
  • (B) \(3x - 4y = -20\)
  • (C) \(4x + 3y = -2\)
  • (D) \(4x + 3y = -6\) (Correct answer)
