Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the point-slope formula.
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) .... x_1 = 3 and y_1 = - 1
m is the slope to x - 3y = 9 because (lines are parallel )
calculate : m by equation x - 3y = 9 :
x = 3y +9
divid by : 3 1/3 x = y + 3
y = (1/3) x - 3 so : m = 1/3
an equation parallel to x - 3y = 9 that passes through the point ( 3, -1 ) is :
y +1 = (1/3)(x - 3)
24x
The product of 24 and a number means that 24 is multiplied by some number. When we use the term "some number" in math, we often use "x" as a representation of that number.
