To find:The Equation of the line
Answer to Problem 33RE
The equation of the line in general form is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Parallel to the line
Formula Used:
The slope-intercept form
Calculation:
Since the two lines are parallel, their slopes will be equal.
For finding the slope of the line
Subtract
Multiply by
Divide by 3 on both sides of the equation.
So, the slope of the line is
Since the line parallel to
Remove the parentheses using the distributive property of multiplication.
Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
Therefore, the equation of the lines is
In order to get the equation of the line in the general form, simply
Multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation.
Subtract
Multiply by
Conclusion:
Therefore, the equation of the line in general form is
