Problema Solution
Write an equation in standard form that is parallel to -9x=12y+6 but going through a different y-intercept.
Answer provided by our tutors
the standard form of a line is in the form Ax + By = C where A is a positive integer, and B, and C are integers.
we have the line -9x=12y+6 and we will write it in slope-intercept form to find the slope
-9x=12y+6
12y+6 = -9x
12y = -9x - 6 divide both sides by 12
y = -(9/12)x - 6/12
y = -(3/4)x - 1/2
the slope m = -3/4 and y-intercept b= -1/2
Since parallel lines have same slopes we have the slope of the line we are looking for.
Also the line is going through a different y-intercept thus its slope-intercept equation will be
y = - (3/4)x + b1, where b1 <> -1/2
the standard form will be
y + (3/4)x = b1 multiply both sides by 4
4y + 3x = 4b1
3x + 4y = 4b1
4b1 <> -1/2
b1 <> -1/8
for example for 4b1=1 one such line is
3x + 4y = 1
Equation of a line in a standard form that is parallel to -9x=12y+6 but going through a different y-intercept is
3x + 4y = b where b<> -1/8.
