Respuesta :
y-5=-2/3(x-4) then you distribute y-5=-2/3x+8/3 then you add 5 to 8/3 and its equal to:
y= -2/3x- 7/3
y= -2/3x- 7/3
Answer: H(x) = (-2/3)*x - 7/3
Explanation: If you have a linear equation y = ax + b, all the parallel lines of y are of the form P = ax + c
so all the paralel lines have the same slope.
Now, we have y = -2/3*x + 8
so we want to find a function of the shape:
H = -2/3*x + c
that pases through the point (4, - 5)
this means:
-5 = -(2/3)*4 + c
c = - 5 + 8/3 = (-15 + 8)/3 = -7/3
So the equation is:
H(x) = (-2/3)*x - 7/3
