Question

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=3x-8 and passes through the point (4,-5)

Answer 1

Pareallell lines have same slope
y=mx+b, m=slope
y=3x-8 so we need
y=3x+b
find b

so given (4,-5)
we can subsitute the point
(x,y)
(4,-5)
x=4 then y=-5

so
-5=3(4)+b
-5=12+b
-17=b


y=3x-17 is equation
D is answer
