Question

Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line
X + 6y = -24?

Answer 1

y = -(1/6)x - 6

Explanation:

slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

---------------------------

x + 6y = -24

Subtract x from both sides

6y = -x - 24

Divide both sides by 6

y = -(1/6)x - 4

slope = -1/6

-----------------------------

Parallel lines have the same slope

therefor the parallel line is

y = -(1/6)x - 6
