Question

slope intercept form for the line that goes through (-6,-2) and is parallel to -7x+3

Answer 1

I need to find an equation in slope intercept form

Answer 2

use the equation
(y - y1) = m (x-x1)
SInce its parallel, the slope has to be the same as the equation given
(m = -7)
NOw plug in (-6,-2) as (x1,y1) in the equation
concludes
(y+2) = -7(x +6) and solve

Answer 3

Okay now how do I solve it? Do I add them?

Answer 4

(y + 2) = -7x -42
y = -7x -44

Answer 5

-7x+3...is it not equated to other no.?? is there no equal sign?

Answer 6

its presumed.

Answer 7

Since it is a slope-intercept form, it has to be equated to "y" concluding
y = -7x + 3

Answer 8

Okay thank you so much

Answer 9

Anytime sweetie =)
