Question 1117020: Find the standard form for the equation of the line which passes through the point (5,-2) and is parallel to the line that has an equation of 3x + 1y = 7
Options:
3x + y = 13
3x + y = -17
3x + y = -13
3x + y = 17
My answer: After doing the math, I got 3x + 1y = 13 but I wanted to make sure it was correct before turning it in!
