HELP !! Giving Out Medals :) NEED ANSWER NOW. y = –5x + 3; (–6, 3) A.y = –5x + 27 B.y = 5x – 9 C.y = –5x – 27 D.y = –5x + 9

OpenStudy (matlee):

Fine!

myininaya (myininaya):

There isn't much instruction here. I think you are leaving something out.

OpenStudy (matlee):

Do you know the property of substitution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we dont give out answers, we explain it to you lol

myininaya (myininaya):

Are you looking for a line parallel to y=-5x+3 that goes through (-6,3)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.

myininaya (myininaya):

If so, parallel lines have the same slope.

myininaya (myininaya):

After comparing the slopes You need to find which line has the point (-6,3)

OpenStudy (stefrheart):

Yes?

myininaya (myininaya):

What is the slope of y=-5x+3 @gxldmouth ?

myininaya (myininaya):

If you know this you will definitely be able to eliminate one choice.

myininaya (myininaya):

then plug in (-6,3) into the others and see which equation holds
