Question

write an equation of the line passing through the point (-6,-9) that is parallel to the line y= -3x - 7

Answer 1

m = -3 b= -27

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

parallel to the line y=-3x-7 means that it has the same slope.

hence slope = -3

y=-3x+b

to find b we plug in the points for x and y

-9=-3(-6)+b

-9=18+b

b=-27

hence the answer is y =-3x - 27
