Question 831911: how do you write a linear equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (0,6) and is parallel to the line described by y=2x+3
i got the answer y=-3x+1 but i highly doubt its right please help tests friday and i need to know how to do this , Thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Parallel lines have identical slopes so your line will look like y=2x%2Bb.
Then use your point to solve for b.
y=2x%2Bb
6=2%280%29%2Bb
b=6
