Question

Write the equation in slope intercept form. The line is parallel to y=-2x+3 and passes through the point (-100, -100)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - 2x - 300

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 2x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes, then

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 100, - 100 ) into the partial equation

- 100 = 200 + c ⇒ c = - 100 - 200 = - 300

y = - 2x - 300 ← equation of parallel line
