Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 2/3x + 1 and passes through the point (–6, –1).

y=2/3x+3

y=2/3x+8

y=2/3x−4

y=2/3x−10

Answer 1

y = 2/3x + 3

Explanation:

1.) identify the gradient in the given equation

m= 2/3

2.)use formula to find M2

M1= M2

2/3 = M2

3.) use formula to find the equation

formula: y - y1 = m( x - x1)

y - (-1) = 2/3(x - -6)

y + 1 = 2/3x + 4(minus 1 on both sides)

y = 2/3x + 3
