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

A. y = 3x - 14

B. y = one thirdx + 2

C. y = -3x + 22

D. y = -one thirdx + 8
can someone help me. I don't know how to solve this

Question

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

Parallel lines have the same slope.  What is the lope of the line y = one thirdx - 3?

aum · Answer

Find the slope from above and substitute for m in y = mx + b.
Since the line passes through the point (6,4), set x = 6 and y = 4 and solve for b.
