Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point. y = –6x + 2; (–1, 2)

a y = –8x – 8
b y = –6x – 4
c y = 6x – 8
d y = –6x + 4

Answer 1

Parallel=same slope
Y=mx+b
Sub in the slope and point to solve for b
2=-6(-1)+b
2=6+b
2-6=b
-4=b
The equation is y=-6x-4; the answer is B
Hope this helps!
