Question

write the equation of a line parallel to the given line but passing through the given point y=-3x-6;( -1,5)

Answer 1

I do not understand where and how you got that answer

Answer 2

For a line to be parallel, it means that it has the same gradient as the given line. In this case the gradient m=-3.

Then, you know that the equation of a line is:
y−y0=m∗(x−x0)


in this case, y0=5; x0=-1.

then the equation simplifies to y=-3x+2, after substitution.

(y-5=-3*(x-(-1)) => y=-3*(x+1)+5 => y=-3x-3+5 => y=-3x+2)

Answer 3

ok so what is the answer

Answer 4

and thatnk you very much for helping me

Answer 5

y=-3x+2

Answer 6

No bother : )

Answer 7

Is it clear?

Answer 8

yes thank you again
