Answer:

3x + y = 21

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

6x + 2y = 8 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

2y = - 6x + 8 ( divide through by 2 )

y = - 3x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (5, 6 ) into the partial equation

6 = - 3(5) + c = - 15 + c ( add 15 to both sides )

21 = c

y = - 3x + 21 ← equation in slope- intercept form

add 3x to both sides )

3x + y = 21 ← equation in standard form
