Algebra.Com's Answer #72301 by elima(1433)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Parallel lines have the same slope, and the slope of the line given is 3. So the parallel line will have slope 3 also. \n" ); document.write( "So we will use the point slope form to fine the equation; \n" ); document.write( "(Y-Y1)=m(X-X1) \n" ); document.write( "y-(-2)=3(x-3) \n" ); document.write( "y+2=3x-9 \n" ); document.write( "subtract 2 from both sides; \n" ); document.write( "y=3x-9-2 \n" ); document.write( "y=3x-11 = equation of line that is parallel to the other \n" ); document.write( ":) \n" ); document.write( " |
