Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation (-1,-2),3x-y=4

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = 3x + 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn $3x - y = 4$ around into Slope-Intercept Form:

3x - y = 4

-3x - 3x

________

−y = −3x + 4

$y = 3x - 4$

The rate of change [slope] is 3:

−2 = 3[−1] + b

−3

1 = b

$y = 3x + 1$

* Parallel lines have SIMILAR RATE OF CHANGES [SLOPES], so 3 remains the way it is.
