Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line. (-3,2);y=-4

Answer 1

ANSWER: y = 3x - 7

Explanation:

Parallel has the same slope, therefore your line will also have a slope of 3

y = 3x + b

solve for the y-intercept by plugging in x and y (3,2)

2 = 3(3) + b

2 = 9 + b

-7 = b

Answer y= 3x - 7
