Find the equation of the line.
1 answer:
Answer:
y=-1/3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, lets outline that parallel lines have the <u>Same Slope</u>. So we can plug in -1/3 as our slope, or m.
Lets plug in -1/3 as our slope in Point Slope form to find the y intercept. Point slope form should be attached in an image below.
1) Plug slope and points into point slope form:
y+1=-1/3(x+3)
2) Distribute -1/3 to x and 3:
y+1=-1/3x-1
3) Subtract 1 from both sides:
y=-1/3x-2
Now we have our answer is slope intercept form!

Answer:
The point is (7,0).
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a linear function in point-slope form is as follows :
...(1)
Where
(x₁,y₁) are the coordinates of the point which the line passes through it and (x,y).
Harold correctly wrote the equation y= 3(x–7)
or we can write it as :
y-0=3(x-7) ...(2)
Comparing equations (1) and (2), we get :
x₁ = 7 and y₁ = 0
So, the point is (7,0).
The correct option is (c).
