Question

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

y = x + 7 x= 1 over 3

y = −3x + 3

y = x + 3 x= 1 over 3

y = −3x + 7

Answer 1

a line that is parallel would have the same slope, so it would be y=-3x+b

Answer 2

so all you have to do is take the two point and plug it into that equation and solve for b

Answer 3

6=-3(-1)+b
6=3+b
b=3
the equation would be y=-3x+3
