Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (0, -11).

and is parallel to the graph of equation y = 3x - 2?

Answer 1

y = 3x - 11

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 11) ⇒ c = - 11

y = 3x - 11 ← equation of parallel line

Answer 2

Explanation:

Y+11 = 3(x-0)

Y+11 = 3x

Y-3x+11=0

slope = 3
