Question

URGENT Write the equations of a line parallel to y = -1/3x-4 thru (6,-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

• y = -1/3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line:

• y = -1/3x - 4

Parallel line has the same slope:

• y = -1/3x + b

Use the given point to find the y-intercept:

• -4 = -1/3*6 + b
• -4 = - 2 + b
• b = -4 + 2
• b = -2

The line is:

• y = -1/3x - 2

Answer 2

y=-1/3x-2. Hope this helped! :)
