Question

what is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,-2) and is parallel to the line 3x-y=2

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the equation from standard form to slope intercept form. So, solve for y.

3x - y = 2

~Subtract 3x to both sides

-y = 2 - 3x

~Divide -1 to everything

y = -2 + 3x

~Reorder

y = 3x - 2

The slope of a parallel line is the same as the original.

Find the new y-intercept.

y = 3x - 2

-2 = 3(-2) + b

-2 = -6 + b

4 = b

y = 3x + 4

Best of Luck!
