Question

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

Answer 1

@$oumya

Answer 2

2nd option is correct..i think

Answer 3

y = -3x + 12
we need to find the slope of this line because a parallel lone will have the same slope.
In y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position. Therefore, the slope we are looking for will be -3.

Now we take y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(-1,6)...x1 = -1 and y1 = 6
now we sub
6 = -3(-1) + b
we will be solving for b, the y intercept
6 = 3 + b
6 - 3 = b
3 = b

so our parallel equation is : y = -3x + 3
any questions ?
