Question

Does someone mind helping me with this question? Thank you!

Answer 1

y - (-2) = 3(x - 1)

y = 3x - 5

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

`y_(1) = -2\\x_(1) = 1\\m = 3`

y - (-2) = 3(x - 1)

y + 2 = 3x - 3

y = 3x - 5

Check that y = 3x - 5 includes the point (1, -2):

-2 = 3(1) - 5

-2 = 3 - 5

-2 = -2
