Line g has an equation of y=-3/2x – 8. Line w, which is parallel to line g, includes the
point (4, -3). What is the equation of line w?

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = -3/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel to each other the slopes are the same.

So line w's  slope would be the same as line g's -3/2

Now all we have to do is pug in the points to find the y-intercept.

-3 = -3/2(4) + b (b represents the y-intercepts)

-3 = -6 + b (add 6 on both sides)

3 = b

y = -3/2x + 3 is the equation for w.
