Find the equation of the line that passes through (−3, −4) that is parallel to the line 2x-y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

1) Determine the slope (m)

To do so, we must organize the given equation into slope-intercept form to identify the value in place of m.

Subtract 2x from both sides (isolate y)

Divide both sides by -1 (isolate y)

Now, from this equation, we can tell that the number in the place of m in is 2. Because parallel lines have equal slopes, the slope of the line we're currently solving for would also be 2. Plug this slope into :

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

Plug in the given point (-3,-4) and solve for b

Add 6 to both sides to isolate b

Therefore, the y-intercept is 2. Plug this back into :

I hope this helps!

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
