Find the equation of the line parallel to the graph of 4x2y3
Find the equation of the line parallel to the graph of 4x+2y=3 that contains the point (4,3).
Solution
Given equation : -4x + 2y = 3
So , 2y = 4x + 3
y = 2x + 3/2
Hence , Slope of the line = 2
Parallel lines have same slope.
So slope of the required line is 2
Point on the line is (4,-3)
So by slope point form ,equation of the line is
y - y1 = m(x -x1)
y + 3 = 2 (x -4)
y + 3 = 2x - 8
2x- y = 11 is the required equation of the line.
