Question

Write an equation of a line that is parallel to y = -3x + 5 and passes through (0, 3).

Answer in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

Answer: y = -3x - 3

Explanation:

If you are looking for a line that is parallel, then it must have the same gradient

Therefore;

y= -3x +c

And because it passes through (0,3), substitute in the values to find c

3 = -3 x 0 + c

c = 3

So the equations would be y = -3x -3

Answer 2

A line parallel to this one would have a slope of 3. where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. In this case, the equation y=3x+5 is already in slope intercept form, which means the slope is 3. Parellel lines have the same slope, so any other line with slope 3 is parallel to this line.

I think that's the answer
