What is the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 6x - 1 and passes through the point (-3, 4)?

The equation will be in slope-intercept form.
Oy=-6x + 5
Oy=6x14
0y=-1/6x-5
O y = 6x + 22
Oy=-1/6x-7

Answer:

y=6x+22

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope and different y-intercepts.

So, all the lines with different slopes will be eliminated.

Now, we can check which line passes through the point (3,4) by substituting x for the x coordinate and y for the y coordinate.

y=6x+22

4=6(-3)+22

4=-18+22

4=4

So, the correct answer is y=6x+22.
