Question

A line is parallel to y = 1/3 x + 5 and passes through (–6, 0).

A. y = –3x

B. y = –3x + 2

C. y = 1/3 x + 2

D. y = 1/3 x – 6



Which is the equation of the line?

Answer 1

option C

Answer 2

do i need to explain

Answer 3

Thanks, yes please

Answer 4

okay

Answer 5

parallel means same slope

Answer 6

see two parallel lines have their slopes equal

Answer 7

its y=1/3(-6) +2 =0

Answer 8

I know, I thought you had to plug in again

Answer 9

the line you have has a slope of 1/3

Answer 10

so the required line will also have the same slope

Answer 11

do you get?

Answer 12

okay thanks so much

Answer 13

I do get it, computer lagging

Answer 14

now u use the formula y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 15

whenever you are asked to find a slope of a line wich passes through a point u will use this formula

Answer 16

now just plug in the values
