What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line
that is parallel to the given line and passes through the
point (-3, 1)?
y-1=- Ž(x+3)
y-1=-{(x + 3)
y-1= {(x+3)
y-1= {(x+3)

What is the equation in pointslope form of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point 3 1 y1 Žx3 y1x 3 y1 x3 y1 x3 class=

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex](y-1)=\dfrac{3}{2}(x+3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the given line passing through (-2,-4) and (2,2) :

m=  [tex]\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{2-(-2)}\\\\=\dfrac{2+4}{2+2}=\dfrac{6}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]

Parallel lines has same slope . That means  slope of required line would be [tex]\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex].

Equation of a line passing through (a,b) and has slope 'm' is given by :_

[tex](y-b)=m(x-a)[/tex]

Now, Equation of a line passing through(-3, 1) and has slope '[tex]\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]' is given by

[tex](y-1)=\dfrac{3}{2}(x-(-3))\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-1)=\dfrac{3}{2}(x+3)\ \ \to \text{Required equation in point slope form.}[/tex]
