Question

Passing through (-8,-8) and Parallel to the line whose equation is y= -3x+2. Write an equation for the line in point slope form.

Answer 1

y = -3x-32

Explanation:

y = -3x+2

slope: -3

y=mx+b

Plug in (-8,-8)

-8 = -3(-8)+b

-8 = 24 + b

b = -32

y = -3x-32

Answer 2

Explanation:

y = -3x + 2

Slope = -3

Point: (-8, -8) x=-8 and y = -8

b = y - (m)(x)

b = -8 - (-3)(-8)

b = -8 -24

b = -32

y = -3x - 32
