Question

Find an equation for the line parallel to 3y+6X=6 and goes through the point (-3,-7) please write in y=mx+b

Answer 1

Answer: y=-6x-25

Step-by-step explanation:

Find slope of original line by solving for y

3y+6x=6

y+6x=2

y = -6x+2 <--- we have found the slope is -6

Using y-y1 = m (x-x1) find the equation for the parallel line:

y-(-7)= -6(x-(-3)) <--- plug in the point coordinates and slope into the equation and solve for y

y+7=-6x-18

y=-6x-25
