Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line:

Answer 1

Answer:

  3x -y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel line can have the same x- and y-coefficients. It will have a different constant. The constant can be found using the x- and y-values of the given point to make sure they satisfy the equation.

  3x -y = 3(2) -(7) = -1

The equation of the line is ...

  3x -y = -1
