4. Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (-8, 2) and is parallel to the line 3x – 2y = 12.

3x - 2y = - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

3x - 2y = 12 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 2y = - 3x + 12 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y = x - 6 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m =

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 8, 2) into the partial equation

2 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 12 = 14

y = x + 14 ← equation in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 2

2y = 3x + 28  ( subtract 2y from both sides )

0 = 3x - 2y + 28 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

- 28 = 3x - 2y , that is

3x - 2y = - 28 ← equation in standard form

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
