Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 3x - y = -3 and passes through the point (4, -2).

y = -one thirdx - 6
y = -one thirdx - 14
y = 3x - 6
y = 3x - 14

Answer 3

first write the line given in slope intercept form
y = m x + b

Answer 4

m is the slope of the line

parallel lines have the same slope so this will be the slope of the "new line"

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

the line passes through the given point (x,y ) values so you can find b the intercept of the "new line"

Answer 7

now you can write the equation of the "new line" for any (x, y) with the same slope and the calculated b
y = m x + b as in D

Answer 8

let me know if you get stuck

Answer 9

ok see look im real bad at math like really bad and i have no idea like how to to do this but ill try thanks for explaining

Answer 10

@horsegirl27 probably went offline you might be in the same class. I did this problem less than 20 minutes ago still on my screen

Answer 11

actually go to closed questions and you will be able to see how I worked through it

Answer 12

***just checked it's still under the open section 27 minutes ago

Answer 13

is y = 3x - 14 the correct answer?
