Which equation represents the line that is parallel to y = -3 and passes through (-1, 6)?
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll look for an equation with the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
A parallel line will have the same slope as the reference line, in this case it is 0, since y = -3 has no x term in it [y is independent of x]. The line we want will have the form y=b, since m is 0. Put the given point, (-1,6) into this equation to find b:
y=b
6=b
The equation of a line parallel to y=-3 is y=6.

~Solve by Graphing~
- I graphed the given equations in a program.
- The point of intersection, if the lines pass, would be the solution.
- The point of intersection in the given system of equations is (4,1).
- This means that (4,1) is the solution.
- See the graph attached.
