Find the equation of the line parallel to 4x=5y=7 and passing through (3,2) leave answer in y=mx+b

1 answer

Since the = and the + signs are on the same key , I will assume you meant:

4x + 5y = 7 as the given line.

Since the new line must be parallel to the given one, it will differ only in the constant

new line: 4x + 5y = c
but (3,2) lies on it, so
12 + 10 = c = 22

4x + 5y = 22
or
y = (-4/5)x + 22/5
