Question

Write an equation in​ slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation. (-3,-4); y=-3x+4

Answer 1

The answer is y=-3x-13, because y=mx+b and since it’s parallel the slope is -3 and substituting x=-3 and y=-4 and m=-3 into the equation, we get b=-13. So the answer is y=-3x-13

Answer 2

y=-3x-13

Explanation:

Plug in the -2 and -4 for the y and x. The slope is the same

1) -4 = -3 (-3)+b

2) -4=9+b

3) -4-9=b

4) -13=b

The equation is y=-3x-13
