I guess question is wrong :

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,-6) and is parallel to the line 33 x– y = 6?

3x - y = 6


m = ( - a)/(b)


m = ( - 3)/( - 1)


m = 1

Lines are parallel :

m1 = m2


x - x1 = m(y - y1)


x + 4= 1(y + 6)


x + 4= y + 6


x - y= 6 - 4


x - y - 2 = 0

Hey there!

33 - y = 6

33 - 1y = 6

-1y + 33 = 6

-y + 33 = 6

SUBTRACT 33 to BOTH SIDES

-y + 33 - 33 = 6 - 33

SIMPLIFY IT!
-y =6 - 33

-y = 6 - 33

-1y = -27

DIVIDE -1 to BOTH SIDES

-1y/-1 = -27/-1

SIMPLIFY IT!
y = -27/-1

y = 27


Therefore, your answer is: y = 27



Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
