{ parallel to y= -3x y-intercept= 1/3 } }
.
Two lines are parallel if the slopes are the same.
.
The "slope-intercept" form is:
y = mx + b
where
m is slope
b is y-intercept
.
For the given equation:
y = -3x
we "see" that the slope is -3
.
Using that (m=-3) and that the y-intercept is 1/3 we stuff it into:
y = mx + b
producing
y = -3x + 1/3 (this is what they're looking for)
