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

Question

anonymous · Answer

If it's parallel, then it will have the same slope. After that, substitute in the x point and then change the b value until it gets the y value.

anonymous · Answer

so the slope would be -3 or 1/3?

anonymous · Answer

If it's the same as -3, then it would be -3

anonymous · Answer

Ok and I the "b" value I got 3 but the choices give 7 too?

anonymous · Answer

What are your choices? And 3 would be the correct b value.

anonymous · Answer

y = 1/3x + 7

y= -3x + 3

y = 1/3x + 3

y = -3x + 7

Okay hold on. I'm just going to do this on my calculator.

anonymous · Answer

y=-3x+3 should be the answer. Do you have a graphing calculator?

anonymous · Answer

No but I can search one up online
