Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = -3x + 12 and passes through the point (-1, 6)

y = x + 7

y = -3x + 3

y = x + 3

y = -3x + 7

Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = -3x + 12 and passes through the point (-1, 6)
	
y =   x + 7
		
y = -3x + 3
		
y =   x + 3
		
y = -3x + 7

ranga · Answer

Parallel lines have the same slope.

What is the slope of the line y = -3x + 12 ?

ranga · Answer

y = mx + b 
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

anonymous · Answer

slope is 3?

shamil98 · Answer

slope is -3

shamil98 · Answer

parallel lines have equal slopes.
now all you need to is find b.
input the values of x and y from (- 1, 6) and solve for b
6 = -3(-1) + b
