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

Answer 1

Parallel lines have the same slope.

What is the slope of the line y = -3x + 12 ?

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

slope is 3?

Answer 4

slope is -3

Answer 5

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
