Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = −3x + 12 and passes through the point (−1, 6). answer choices: y = 1/3x + 7 y = −3x + 3 y = 1/3x + 3 y = −3x + 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know that parallel lines have equal slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Noo..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sauravshakya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.... then parallel lines have equal slope . got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u tell me the slope of the y = −3x + 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@LifeisHouseMusic can u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I solved the equation and got y = 12-3x @sauravshakya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry i was late.. i didn't see that you replied :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did u do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First tell me the slope of the y = −3x + 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay i did it again and got m=-3, b=12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sauravshakya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u will get m=-3 and b=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So which answer would it be? @sauravshakya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = −3x + 3
