Question

[4_07]Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (2, 6) and parallel to y = -3x - 4.

Answer 1

the required equation will have the same slope as y = -3x + 4 whose slope is -3
(the number multiplying x)

so using the general form y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where m = slope and (x1,y1) is any point on the line we get:

y - 6 = -3(x - 2)

simplify this to get your required equation

Answer 2

Thank you I have answered this wrong twice already. Can you help me simplify this? step by step?

Answer 3

* y = -3x - 4

Answer 4

y - 6 = -3(x - 2)
y - 6 = -3x + 6
y = -3x + 6 + 6
y = -3x + 12

Answer 5

Thats the answer I got and its wrong. The choices are y=-3x, y=-3x+12 and y=3x. thank you for helping

Answer 6

thats the right answer

Answer 7

thank you, im writing down the steps. Yeah!

Answer 8

You are right! I added a negative.
