Question

26. Write the equation of the line passing through 2.-4) and parallel to the line y = 3x -2

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

y = 3x -10

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation being parallel to the line y = 3x - 2 must contain the same slope, or 3.

Therefore:

Plug in the coordinate points into the formula y = mx + b along with the slope:

-4 = 3(2) + b

-4 = 6 + b

Subtract 6 from both sides:

b = -10.

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:

y = 3x -10. This is the line that is parallel and passes through (2, -4).
