Question

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y+-2/3x+8 that passes through (4, -5).

Answer 1

Explanation:

Line parallel to the line y = -2/3 x + 8 also has the slope -2/3.

Since the line passes through (4, -5), we have (x - 4) written on the right side and (y + 5) on the left side.

Hence the equation is y + 5 = -2/3 * (x - 4). (B)
