Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = -3x + 12 and passes through the point (-1, 6).
y = one thirdx + 7
y = -3x + 3
y = one thirdx + 3
y = -3x + 7
Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 3x - y = -3 and passes through the point (4, -2).
y = -one thirdx - 6
y = -one thirdx - 14
y = 3x - 6
y = 3x - 14

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

a,d
an easy way to do this since it gives you the points and possible answers is to substitute x and y with the (x,y) coordinates. The slope should be the same as the original equation because they are parallel. So yeah.
