What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, −2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x + 4y = 15? enter your answer in the box

Step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

Isolate the variable y

Subtract both sides

Divide by both sides

the slope of the given line is

Step 2

Find the equation of the line that passes through  the point and is parallel to the given line

we know that

if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal

The equation of the line into point-slope form is equal to

we have

substitute in the equation

 or  

therefore

the answer is

or

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6
