What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, −2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x + 4y = 15? Enter your answer in the box

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula by the line

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)      when  x_1 =8   and  y_1 = -2    m :  is the slope (same slope for the line whose equation is 3x + 4y = 15 because are  parallel)

calculate : m

3x + 4y = 15

4y = -3x +15

y = (-3/4)x +15/4     so   m = -3/4

an equation is : y +2 =(-3/4)(x-8)
