Question

Find the slope of a line parallel to the line that crosses ( 3 , − 2 ) and the y -intercept is ( 0 , − 3 ) . I finally figured out how to write my equations in slope intercept form and NOW this pops up, can someone please explain it to me

Answer 1

y = 1/3x - 3

Explanation:

We can find the equation of the line, by finding the slope and combine with our y-intercept (-3).

We need to use the slope formula to find the slope.

Thus, we have (-3 - (-2)) / 0 - 3 = -1/-3 = 1/3

So our equation is y = -1/3x - 3
