Question

Write the equation of the line parallel to the line y=1x+0 that passes through the point (-6,-4)​

Answer 1

y = x + 2

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. If the line y = x is parallel to it then the slope for both lines is 1.

To write the equation, substitute m = 1 into the point slope form with (-6,-4).

`y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y --4 = 1(x--6)\\y + 4 = (x+6)\\y = x +2`
