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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = one thirdx + 7 y = -3x + 3 y = one thirdx + 3 y = -3x + 7

OpenStudy (ccswims):

well we know since it's parallel it's going to have the same slope

OpenStudy (ccswims):

and we are going to have to first do point-slope form in order to get the actual equation
