Question

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

y = 3x - 12

y = -3x

y = -3x + 12

y = 3x

Answer 1

Do you know how to find the slope of a line?

Answer 2

Yea !

y-y^1=m(x-x^2)
y-6=-3(x-2) ?

Answer 3

Yep. So you know you can just look at that original equation and see the slope, right?

slope-intercept form is y=mx+b.
That makes the slope in your original equation... -3, right?

Answer 4

So it will be y = -3x + 12 ? :D

Answer 5

You got it. :)

Answer 6

Thank you sooo much for your help :D

Answer 7

No problem. :)
