Question

Help!Write the equation in slope- intercept form of the line that passes through (−1, 11) and is parallel to the graph of y = −8x − 2

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -8x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in the point and the slope into the slope intercept formula (y=mx+b)

the slope will be the same since you want the line to be parallel

11 = -8(-1) +b   now solve for b

11 = 8 + b

-8   -8

3 = b

now write the equation with only the slope and the y intercept

y = -8x + 3
