Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point ( 1 , 7 ) and is parallel to the line
3x−y=1?

Answer 1

Answer:

(y-1)= 3(x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  you put the equation given in slope intercept form so y=3x-1.

2.  you find the slope, parellel lines have the same slope so the slope for the new equation will remain 3.

3. then you write the point-slope form equation

4) make sure to plug in the x1 and y1 values from the coordniates given
