Question

6. Write an equation of a line parallel to y = 3x + 9 and goes through the point (-1,5).

Answer 1

Answer: The equation parallel to the line is y=3x+8

Step-by-step explanation: Parallel lines have the same gradients, wr have a gradient for the above line which 3. The standard formula for the linear equation is y=mx+c

We have to calculate c since we have x and y.

y=mx+c

5= 3(-1)+c

c=8

The equation become y=3x+8
