Question

ASAP PLEASEwrite an equation for the line that is parallel to tue given line and that passes through the given point. y=-5x+3; (-6,3)

Answer 1

`y=-5x-27`

Explanation:

Since we are finding a parallel line, the slopes will be the same, so the second equation will also have a slope of -5.

Then, to find the y-intercept, we can use the point given and plug in.

`y=-5x+b`

`3=-5(-6)+b`

`3=b+30`

`b=-27`

So the equation comes out to be
`y=-5x-27`

We can check by plugging in the given point again.

`3=-5(-6)-27`

`3=30-27`

`3=3`
