@Ednac

Answer 5

Well how do we make a parallel line? do you know?

Answer 6

we must take the same slope so the first part of the equation is y=-3x+c

Answer 7

so plug in the point and solve for c

maybe you need to start at the beginning--but it seems Ednac is walking you though it

Answer 9

@adamaero he probably just wants the straight up answer

Answer 10

@Ednac no i want to know how to solve it

Answer 11

im usually pretty good with math but when it comes to

Answer 12

grpa

Answer 13

comes to graphs i get confused

Answer 14

ok well then I walked you through it so do what i said and you'll be a okay :^)

Answer 15

(x,y)

Answer 16

thats the order so plug it in

Answer 17

y=-3x+3?

Answer 18

no right now all we have is y=-3x+c

Answer 19

we know the slope because it has to be the same

Answer 20

we have the point (-1, 6)

Answer 21

so i have to keep "y=3x+" as the beginning?

Answer 22

the only thing im missing is the y-intercept correct?

Answer 23

y=-3x+**

Answer 24

yes correct

Answer 25

you can solve for the y intercept by plugging in the points to the equation and what did you get?
