Answer:

The correct answer is y = -6x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of the line : y = -6x + 2

Now, the general equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is given by : y = mx + c

Now, comparing the given equation with the general form, We get slope, m = -6

We need to find the equation of the line which is parallel to the given line and since the slope of two parallel lines are equal so the slope of the required line will also be -6

And it passes through the point (-1, 2)

The required equation will be :

⇒ y - 2 = -6 × (x + 1)

⇒ y - 2 = -6x - 6

⇒ y = -6x - 4

Therefore, The required equation is y = -6x -4

Hence, The correct answer is. y = -6x - 4

You can solve this by using "similar triangles".

In triangle ABC, we are looking for side AC which is x. Side AC is similar to side DF in triangle EDF.

You can solve for side x by picking two sides in triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle EDF. This is what I mean:
$\frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{DF}{EF}$
Substitute for the values of AC, BC, DF and EF:
$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{11}{8} \\ \\ 8x = 4 \times 11 \\ \\ x = \frac{44}{8}$
$x = 5.5 \: units$
To solve for y, do the same thing. Pick two sides on triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle DEF.
$\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{DE}{EF}$
Substitute for the values and solve:
$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{y}{8}$
$4y = 24 \\ \\ y = 6 \: units$

We have the value x to be 5.5 units and y to be 6 units.
