Write the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the point (4,-6) and is parallel to the line y = -3/4x - 5 y = -3/4x - 3 y = -3/4x + 3 y = 4/3x + 2/3 y = 4/3x - 34/3

Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x-3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Parallel lines have the same slope.

===========================================

We have the equation of the line: [tex]y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x-5[/tex]

The slope is [tex]m=-\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex].

Put the value of the slope and the coordinates of the point (4, -6) to an equation of a line:

[tex]-6=-\dfrac{3}{4}(4)+b[/tex]

[tex]-6=-3+b[/tex]           add 3 to both sides

[tex]-3=b\to b=-3[/tex]

Finally:

[tex]y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x-3[/tex]
