Answer:
A is -8
B is 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us rewrite the equation in the standard format of y = mx + b
By = -Ax + 12
y = (-A/B)x + 12/B
Now, since the line is parallel to the line given below, then their slopes must be equal
2x - 7y = 3
7y = 2x - 3
y = (2/7)x - 3/7
slope here is 2/7
Thus;
-A/B = 2/7
let’s now insert the point that the line passes through
We have;
1 = (-A/B)2 + 12/B
but -A/B = 2/7
1 = 4/7 + 12/B
12/B = 1 - 4/7
12/B = 3/7
B = (7 * 12)/3
B = 28
-A/28 = 2/7
-7A = 56
A = 56/-7
A = -8
