Question

Write an equation of a line whose graph is parallel to the graph of y=3x-10.

Answer 1

y=3x plus or minus any number that is not 10.

The slope of your function has to stay 3x to be parallel with the function given. Just change the y-intercept (also known as the B value) to a number other than -10.

Answer 2

The equation of line parallel to the given equation of line : y = 3x + 4

Explanation:

The equation of the line is given to be :

y = 3x - 10

Now, on comparing the given equation of line with the standard equation of line in slope intercept form : y = mx + c

where m is the slope of the line

So, Slope of the given equation of line = 3

Now, Since parallel lines never intersect each other

⇒ The slope of parallel lines are equal to each other

So, The required equation of parallel line is of form : y = 3x + c

Hence, The equation of line parallel to the given equation of line : y = 3x + 4
