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

What is the Point-Slope Form? Write it out!

Answer 2

>Using Slope Intercept Form<

Step 1:
Substitute the slope from original line (-3 in this case) into the equation of the line y = -3x +b
Step 2:
Substitute the given point (-1,6) into the x and y values. 6 = 3(-1) +b

Solve for b (the y-intercept)

Answer 3

Your new equation will be: y = 3x + b

find b
