Question

Write an equation for the line parallel to the given line that contains C.
y =

Answer 1

y=3/7x+46/7

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. This means in the equation y=mx+b, m=3/7 for sure. Then, it gives us the point (1,7). The line has to go through this point so we plug it in: 7=3/7(1)+C. Then, we solve for C using algebra.

7-3/7=C

C=46/7
