Question

Write the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,

2) and is parallel to 3x + y = 3

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

The slope of 3x + y = 3 is -3 so we can write the equation as y = -3x + b and since we know that it goes through (-1, 2) we can plug these values in and we get 2 = -3(-1) + b.

2 = 3 + b so b = -1 and the equation is y = -3x - 1.
