Question

ASAP PLEASEwrite an equation for the line that is parallel to tue given line and that passes through the given point. y=-5x+3; (-6,3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=-5x-27$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are finding a parallel line, the slopes will be the same, so the second equation will also have a slope of -5.

Then, to find the y-intercept, we can use the point given and plug in.

$y=-5x+b$

$3=-5(-6)+b$

$3=b+30$

$b=-27$

So the equation comes out to be $y=-5x-27$

We can check by plugging in the given point again.

$3=-5(-6)-27$

$3=30-27$

$3=3$
