Question

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 4) and is parallel to y = -3x + 6.

y = 1/3 x + 14/3
y = 3x + 10
y = -3x - 2
y = - 1/3 x + 10/3

Answer 1

hint: 1. slopes of parallel lines are equal.
2. perform the slope-intercept form of the line

Answer 2

I still have no clue man

Answer 3

do you know how to find the slope of a line>?

Answer 4

The important part of the question is "is parallel to y = -3x + 6"
the slope is mx in y=mx+b
y=mx+b is the same as y=-3x+6 meaning that -3x is your slope
When to functions are parallel, it simply means that both slope are the same.
-3x in the problem looks like -3x in one of the answer options. There are none other that look like it so that means that the correct answer is y = -3x - 2

Thank you guys
