Question

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to y = 3x+6 and passes through the
point (-10, 2.5).

Answer 1

parallel lines have the same slope so m=3. You also have a given point (-10,2.5).

Use point slope formula y-yo=m(x-xo) where (yo,xo) is your initial point.

y-2.5=3(x+10)

y=3x+32.5

Answer 2

Oh, okay. That makes sense. Thank you!
