Question

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

y = 3x - 12

y = -3x

y = -3x + 12

y = 3x

Answer 1

The parallel line has a slope of -3 (since parallel lines have equal slopes)

Answer 2

So plug m = -3, x = 2 and y = 6 into

y = mx+b

to get

6 = -3*2 + b

and solve for b
