Question

Theequationforlinefcanbewrittenasy = –3x − 6

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -3x-6

slope of line is -3

parallel lines have the same slope

point-slope equation for line of slope -3 that passes through (6,-8):

y+8 = -3(x-6)

put equation into slope-intercept form:

y = -3x + 10

Answer 2

Answer:

$y = - 3x + 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find a line parallel to line f

$- 3x - 6$

and passes through 6,-8.

Parallel lines have the same slope so our new line will also has-3 as it slope

wo using the slope intercept form let update our equation so far.

Slope intercept is

$y = mx + b$

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

plug in -3 for the slope since our new equation must be parallel.

$y = - 3x + b$

Now plug 6 for x and -8 for y.

$- 8 = - 3(6) + b$

$- 8 = - 18 + b$

$b = 10$

Our equation is

$y = - 3x + 10$
