Question

Find an equation of a line that is parallel to y = 3x - 9 and passes through the point (1, 1). *

Answer 1

Answer:

y=3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you can use the point-slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1), with x1 and y1 being from the given coordinate, and m being the slope (which is 3 that can be seen in the equation). Since we're finding a line that is parallel to this line, the slopes of both equations are the same.

y-(1)=3(x-1)

y-1=3x-3

y=3x-2

Check:

(1)=3(1)-2

1=3-2

1=1
