Question

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y = 3x-7 that

passes through (-3,-2).
y
O A. y+3 = - 4(x+2)
OB. y+2=3(x+3)
O C. y-2 - 3(x-3)
O D. y + 2 = 2(x+3)

Answer 1

• B. y + 2 = 3(x + 3)

Explanation:

Given line:

• y = 3x - 7

Its slope is 3.

The parallel line has same slope and passes through ( - 3, - 2).

Its equation is:

• y - (- 2) = 3(x - (-3))
• y + 2 = 3(x + 3)

Correct choice is B
