Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=3x+6and passes through the point (4, 7)

Answer 1

Answer:

So, we will be using point-slope form to construct this equation.

Point-slope form's general formula is as follows:

Y - Y1 = m( X - X1)

M is the slope,

Y₁ is the Y-coordinate of the point

X₁ is the X- coordinate of the point.

So, our slope is 3 (since the equation is given in slope-intercept form)

Our Y₁ is 7 and out X₁ is 4    

So, now we just plug our numbers into the equation.

There's your equation.

Y - 7 = 3( X - 4).

Hope this helps!
