Question

Write the equation of the line which passes through (0, -4) and is parallel to the line 3x - y = 6.

Answer 1

First find the y= mx + b format of this equation

3x - y = 6
-y = -3x + 6
y = 3x - 6

Parallel equations have the same slope
In this case, the slope is 3, making the slope of the parallel equation also 3.

Now plug in your coordinates and slope into this equation
(y-y1) = m (x - x1)

(0,-4) = (x1,y1)
m = 3

Answer 2

Perfect

Answer 4

These are my choices y = 3x - 1 y = 3x + 4 y = 3x - 4 y = 3x + 1
I picked y = 3x - 1

Answer 5

Its y = 3x - 4
When you plug all the values in:
( y- y1) = m (x-x1)
= (y -(-4) = 3 (x -0)
= ( y + 4) = 3(x-0)
=y + 4 = 3x - 0
y = 3x -4

Answer 6

3x-y-4=0
