Answer:
2x + 3y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the new line will be identical to that of the given line except that the constant term will differ.
Start with the given 2x + 3y = 3 and replace x with 3 and y with -4. We get:
2(3) + 3(-4) = C, and C = 6 – 12 = -6
The equation of the new line is therefore 2x + 3y = -6
