Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation parallel to y = 7x + 2, which passes through the point (1, -3)

y = 7x - 10
y = -1/7 x + 2
y = 7x - 3
y = -7x + 10

Answer 1

The first one

Answer 2

parallel line will have same slope, but we don't know the y intercept, so

y = 7x + b

plug in your point to find the y intercept.

(-3) = 7(1) + b
-3-7=b
b=-10
y = 7x - 10

Yes, it's A.
