The equation of line g is y–9= 4/7(x+6). Parallel to line g is line h, which passes through the point (3,2). What is the equation of line h?

Respuesta :

Answer:

y=4/7x+2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

For lines to be parallel, the slope must be the same. From the point-slope form that the equation of line g has taken, it can be easily identified that line g's slope is 4/7, so line h's slope must be as well.

To make sure that line h passes through point (3,2), you must use the point slope form.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1 represents the y value of the point you're trying to pass

m represents your slope

x1 represents the x value of the point you're trying to pass

leave y and x alone, as they're just variables in the equation.

Plug in the slope (4/7), and x1 and y1 values (3, 2).

y-2=4/7(x-3)

Distribute.

y-2=4/7x-12/7

Addition property of equality (add 2 to both sides to isolate y).

y=4/7x+2/7

There is your equation for line h.
