Write an equation of the line described.
-Through $( - 6,0 )$, parallel to $8 x - 9 y = - 3$
A) $y = \frac { 9 } { 8 } x + 0$
B) $y = - \frac { 8 } { 9 } x - \frac { 16 } { 3 }$
C) $y = \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + \frac { 1 } { 3 }$
D) $y = \frac { 8 } { 9 } x + \frac { 16 } { 3 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of the line $8x - 9y = -3$ is $\frac{8}{9}$. A parallel line has the same slope. Using point-slope form with point $(-6,0)$, the equation is $y = \frac{8}{9}x + \frac{16}{3}$.
