Question

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

A. y = 1/3x + 7

B. y = −3x + 3

C. y = 1/3x + 3

D. y = −3x + 7

Answer 1

y = -3x + b

Plug the point coordinates into the above equation and solve for b.

Answer 2

y = -3x + 3

A plot of both lines is attached. The answer line is the red one.

Answer 3

so it would be y= -3x + 3?

Answer 4

Yes.
