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 1

r u familiar with y-y1=m(x-x1) eqn?

Answer 2

Answer 3

First:
3x - y = -3
I will reorder this into slope intercept form to see the slope and y intercept more clearly
3x - y = -3
add y to both sides
3x - y+y = -3+y
3x = -3+y
add 3 to both sides
3x +3 = -3+y+3

3x +3 =y
The slope is?

Answer 4

Member, slope intercept form is y=mx+b
Mis the slope and b is the y intercept. In this case the slope is 3 and y intercept is 3

So, you're question is looking for a parallel line to y=3x+3. Question: Parallel lines have the same slope? Yes or no?

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 8

yes sorry i was working on a project so do u understand what @Zale101 did?

Answer 9

sort of. not completely

Answer 10

wanna do it all over again?

Answer 11

sure

Answer 12

k :) r u good at isolating variable like solving for y in the eqn
\[3x-y=-3\]

Answer 13

not exactly

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

r u confused?

Answer 16

no not yet

Answer 17

cool :D so that's the slope-intercept for (\[y=mx+b\] )
