Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (6, -2) and parallel to y = x + 7.

y = x + 8

y = x - 4

y = x + 4

y = x - 8

Answer 1

To be parallel, the other line has to have the same slope, right?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

What is the slope of your line, y=x+7?

Answer 4

yes it is

Answer 5

i think its 1

Answer 6

Do any of the options have this same slope?

Answer 7

they all do

Answer 8

Right. So they are ALL parallel. So no we need to determine which of them pass through the point (6,-2). That means, if we plug in x=6 and the answer to the equation comes out to y=-2, we found the answer.

Answer 9

*now

Answer 10

Plug in x=6 for the 1st option: y = x + 8

What is y?

Answer 11

Do this for all your options. When you get y=-2. You're done!
