Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (2, -4) and parallel to y = 3x - 6. y = 3x - 10 y = 3x - 6 y = 3x - 2 y = 3x - 12

Well if it's parallel then we know that the slope is going to be the same.

In order to find the equation, you simply have to substitute the x corrdinate for x and the y corrdinate for y. -4=3(2)-6 Now you can solve it.

c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I"m sorry i made a mistake. It should look like -4=3(2)+b Now you can solve b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct! Yeah sry about the confusion. They were asking for you to find a separate equation. If you graph both of those equations, they will be parallel.
