Question

Parallel to y = 3x – 1 and passes through the point ( – 4, – 11)

Answer 1

If the line is parallel, you know it’s going to have the same slope, which in this case is 3

Using the format y= mx + b, plug in your x and y values to find b (m is the slope)
-11 = 3(-4) + b
-11= -12 + b
b = 1

You now have all the needed values to write the equation in slope-intercept form:

y = 3x + 1
