Question 507875: Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = −3x + 12 and passes through the point (−1, 6). Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A line parallel to another line will have the same slope.
.
y = -3x + 12
.
So, the parallel line will be y = -3x + b
.
It must go through the point (-1, 6), so use that to find 'b'.
.
6 = -3(-1) + b
6 = 4 + b
b = 2
.
y = -3x + 2
.
