Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 3x − y = −3 and passes through the point (4, −2).

A: y = −one thirdx − 6

B: y = −one thirdx − 14

C: y = 3x − 6

D: y = 3x − 14

Answer 1

At the moment i believe the answer is -1/3x - 6 but im not really sure tho

Answer 2

Do it JUST lLIKE the previous one!! :)

Answer 3

Check your answer again! :)

Answer 4

im doing it right now

Answer 5

i tried it again and i got the answer C: y = 3x − 6 is parallel @AkashdeepDeb

Answer 6

The answer is D:
Check previously what I had done! :)

Answer 7

how did u get 14 tho? @AkashdeepDeb

Answer 8

Do you know the point-slope form of the line?

Answer 9

3x?

Answer 10

Yes the slope is 3
Because if you write the equation which you gave in the question as y=mx+b
You get m=3!! :D

Answer 11

but i still dont understand how u got 14

Answer 12

If 2 lines have the SAME SLOPE they are parallel or are the same.
SLOPE GIVES YOU HOW STEEP IT IS.

Answer 13

L,M,N Are parallel i understand that part

Answer 14

Now we need a parallel line right?
So the slope will be the same as 3
And also it is asked that it has to pass through the point (4,-2)

So we use the Point-slope form of a line.

It is very easy to derive [I'll do that after some time]

The formula is:
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
And we already have m = 3 and (x1,y1) = (4,-2)

Substitute these points in the formula and you'll get the equation of the parallel line!! :D

Understood this till here? :)

Answer 15

lol some what
