Question

How do I solve this problem? Write an equation in slope intercept form, if that is not possible write it in standard form. 30. Passes through the point (-3,11) and is parallel to the line y=8

Answer 1

NSWER

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation

wo lines are parallel if they have the same slope and diffenrent y-intercepts.

In this case, we have to write the equation of a line parallel to the line y = 8, which is a line with a slope of 0 - i.e. it is a horizontal line. Therefore, the equation of the line we have to find must have the same form - y equal to a constant. This constant is the y-coordinate of the point where the line must pass through, (-3, 11).

Hence, the equation of the described line is y = 11.
