Question

find the equation of the line passing through the point (2, -4) and parallel to y = 3x - 6.

Answer 1

strip the constant and recalibrate with the given point

Answer 2

what?

Answer 3

parallel means it has the same slope

Answer 4

\[y-(-4)=3(x-2)\]\[y+4=3x-6\]\[y=3x-10\]

Answer 5

y = 3x - 6 ; strip the constant

y = 3x + C ; recalibrate with the given point

-4 = 3(2) + C ; solve for C

-10 = C ; rewrite

y = 3x -10

yay!!

Answer 6

parallel lines have the same equations but differ by a constant, that is if they are seperate lines

Answer 7

yay!! xD
