Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6,11) and is parallel to the line with the following equation?

y=2/3x-5

A. y=2/3x-15
B. y=-2/3x+17
C. y=-2/3x+5
D. y=2/3x+7​​

Answer 1

• D. y = 2/3x + 7

Explanation:

Parallel lines have same slope.

Use the given point and point-slope form:

• y - 11 = 2/3(x - 6)
• y - 11 = 2/3x - 4
• y = 2/3x + 7

Correct choice is D
