Question

Write an equation of the line that passes
through (6, — 2) and is parallel to the line
y= 3x – 3.

Answer 1

Answer: y = 3x - 20

Step-by-step explanation: Start with the equation y=mx+b. Remember that the slope of the parallel line, m, will be the same. Now you have y = 3x + b. Next you have to find b, the y intercept. You can do so by using the point given, (6,-2).

-2 = (3) * (6) + b

b = -20

y=mx+b         y = 3x - 20
