You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of a line parallel to the given line but passing through the given point: y=3x+3;(1,1)
***
equation of a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
slope of given line=3
parallel lines have the same slopes
equation: y=3x+b
solve for b using coordinates of given point (1,1)
1=3*1+b
b=-2
equation of parallel line:y=3x-2
