Find a linear equation whose graph is the straight line with the given property. HIN Through (3/4, 0) and parallel to the line 8x - 2y = 16 y (x) =

Solution

Since It is parallel to the line 8x-2y = 16

Let the equation be

8x-2y = c

put x = 3/4 and y = 0

8*(3/4)-2*0 = c

c = 6

So, equation will be

8x-2y = 6

4x-y =3

y = 4x-3
