Answer 4

I made a typo in my calculations. Im fixing it now.

Answer 5

y=3x+20

Answer 6

Parallel lines have the same slope, but a different y- intercept.
Plug in the values from the given point and leave the y-intercept as an unknown variable(b).
y=3x-6
(2)=3(-8)+b
2=-18+b
b=20

Now write your final equation.
