Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"general form"# is.
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(Ax+By+C=0)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
#"where A is a positive integer and B, C are integers"#
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+c#
#"where m is the slope and c the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "4x-6y=-1" into this form"#
#y=2/3x+1/6larr" with "m=2/3#
#• " Parallel lines have equal slopes"#
#"equation of parallel line is"#
#y=2/3x-5larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"multiply all terms by 3"#
#3y=2x-15#
#2x-3y-15=0larrcolor(red)"in general form"#
