Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form that goes through the point (5,-7) and is PARALLEL to the line y=-3x+8

Answer 1

Answer:

there is no line parallel to y = -3x + 8 that goes through (5, -7). this point falls on this line

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = - 3x + 8$

$- 7 = - 3(5) + b \\ - 7 = - 15 + b \\ b = 8$

The answer is

$y = - 3x + 8$
