Question

Select the equation of the line parallel to the equation y = -2x - 7 that passes through the point (3, 1).

A. y = -2x + 7

B. y = -2x + 6

C. y = -2x - 2

D. y = 3x - 8

Answer 1

y = -2x - 7
slope = -2 (parallel shares the same slope, -2)

Option A:
y = -2x + 7
slope = -2

At (3, 1)
y = -2(3) + 7 = 1

Answer: Option A
