Question 644590: SOLUTION: Write an equation of the line that is parallel to y= 3x + 4 and passes through (-2,3)need help, thanks Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation of the line that is parallel to
y= 3x + 4 and passes through (-2,3)
-----
The given line has slope = 3
---
All parallel lines must have slope = 3.
----
Form: y = mx + b
You know y = 3 when x = -2 and m = 3 ; Solve for "b":
3 = 3(-2) = b
b = 9
------
Equation:
y = 3x + 9
