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

Question

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.

anonymous · Answer

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?

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

a?

anonymous · Answer

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.
