Question

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

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

Answer 1

the slope will remain the same, but the y-intercept will change.
let this new y-intercept be represented using "b"

so,
y=1/3x+b

we know it (the new line) passes through (-1,6) so plug it in (to find the new y-intercept e.i. "b" )

(6)=(1/3) (-1) + b
6= - 1/3 +b
6 1/3 = b

knowing the new y-intercept the new equation is,

y=1/3x+ 6 1/3

Answer 2

So C!!!!!

Answer 3

with the conditions you posted, it's y = 1/3x+ 6 1/3 and nothing else.

Answer 4

maybe it's supposed to be perpendicular, or the point you entered is entered incorrectly ?
