Question

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 4) and is parallel to y = -3x + 6.

y = one thirdx + 14 thirds

y = 3x + 10

y = -3x - 2

y = -one thirdx + 10 thirds

Answer 1

so whats the slope of the line you have been given...?

Answer 2

because parallel lines have the same slope...

which makes it quite simple to find the answer..

Answer 3

You have been given the following equation:
y = -3x + 6 ..................(1)
Equation (1) is written in the general form:
y = mx + b ..................(2)
where m is the slope.
In equation (1) the coefficient of x takes the place of m (the slope). Can you name the slope in equation (1) now?

Answer 4

campbell_st wrote all you need to get the answer. Look again. He wrote "because parallel lines have the same slope."

@tristynhart
What is the slope of this line: y = -3x + 6?
And, which of the options is the only one with this slope?
