Question

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

y = 3x - 12

y = -3x

y = -3x + 12

y = 3x

Answer 1

Well with parallel lines they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. So what can we eliminate??

Answer 2

And since we have a given point at use the slope of -3 (because parallel lines have the same slope) We can plug it into the equation of

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Where your slope is m of -3
Your y1 is 6
Your x1 is 2

Answer 3

either a or d

Answer 4

D?

Answer 5

Distribute and get x alone.
