Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (2, 6) and parallel to y = -3x - 4.


a. y = 3x - 12
b. y = -3x
c. y = -3x + 12
d. y = 3x

Answer 1

c?

Answer 2

if it is parallel has same slope

y=-3x+C now just sub (2,6) into the equation to find c

Answer 3

can you do this?

Answer 4

i know the first part is -3 because it shares the same slope but i keep getting confused on the next part, where do you plug in the (2,6) and what do i do with them

Answer 5

x=2 y=6

Answer 6

so since

y=-3x+c

6=-3(2)+c

Answer 7

what is c?

Answer 8

12?

Answer 9

yep

Answer 10

so what will your answer be?

Answer 11

y = -3x + 12
