Question

FAN AND MEDAL!!!!!
Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 3x - y = -3 and passes through the point (4, -2).
A) y = -1/3x - 6
B) y = -1/3x - 14
C) y = 3x - 6
D) y = 3x - 14

Answer 1

I think its C but I'm not sure. can anyone check my answer?

Answer 2

Answer 3

@amistre64

Answer 4

the y = 3x is correct, lets check the constant

Answer 5

You can use this to graph: https://www.desmos.com/calculator

Answer 6

-2 = 3(4) + c

-2 = 12 + c

-14 = c

Answer 7

looks like -6 aint gonna cut it

Answer 8

Just plug in 3x - y = -3, (4, -2), y = -1/3x - 6, y = -1/3x - 14, y = 3x - 6, and y = 3x - 14 into separate boxes on the left.

Answer 9

Then find out which one is parallel and crosses (4, -2)

Answer 10

ok, thank you. @amistre64 so what your saying is that the correct y- intercept is -14 so its D?

Answer 11

correct :)

Answer 12

thank you :)

Answer 13

@kai_is_my_name That is correct.

Answer 14

youre welcome, and good luck :)

Answer 15

Parallel lines = same slope.
