Question

Write the equation of the parallel line to 2x + 3y = 5 that passes through the point (-8, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$2x + 3y = -7$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x + 3y = k \\ put \: x = - 8 \: \: \: \: \: y = 3 \\ \\ 2( - 8) + 3(3) = k \\ \\ - 16 + 9 = k \\ \\- 7 = k \\ \\ \\ required \: line \: \\ \\ 2x + 3y = -7$
