Question

Write the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line.

(−3, 8), x = −3y + 9

Answer 1

y= - (1/3) x + 9

Explanation:

y = m x +b === m is slope, b is y-intercept

Solve given equation for y to find parallel slope -- y = - (1/3) x + 3

so parallel slope is - (1/3)

substitute point & slope into equation to find b

8 = - (1/3) (3) + b

b = 9

Answer 2

y= -3yx + 9x - 37
