Question

SOMEONE HELP OUT I DONT HAVE MUCH TIME

Answer 1

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. If both lines are parallel, they have the same slope ($m=3$)

2. You have that the equation of the line is:

$y=mx+b$

Where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

3. You know that the other line must pass through the point ($1,8$). So, you can solve for $b$ to calculate its value, as following:

$8=3(1)+b\\ b=5$

4. Therefore, the equation of the line that is parallel to $y=3x-8$ is

$y=3x+5$

The answer is: $y=3x+5$
