Question

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (6, 4) and is parallel to y = one thirdx - 3.

y = 3x - 14

y = one thirdx + 2

y = -3x + 22

y = -one thirdx + 8



Can someone please help me. im really confused

Answer 1

just a min

Answer 2

Two different lines are parallel if they have the same slope.

The slope of the line y = -3x - 4 is -3.

Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line gives

y - 6 = -3(x - 2) .

The slope-intercept form is y = -3x + 12.

Another way to solve the problem is let y = -3x + b and determine b from the given point.

Answer 3

hope this will help u

Answer 4

thank you so much! would you mind helping me answer a few more math problems. Its just that I'm really stuck and I need to understand how to do this...

Answer 5

wait, but thats not an answer for the multiple choice?

Answer 6

Is the equation of the line \[y= \frac{ 1 }{ 3} x -3 \]

Answer 7

2nd option is answer

Answer 8

since slope is 1/3
Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line gives

y - 4 = 1/3(x - 6) .
