Answer:
y = -3x +26
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the given line is ...
y = -3x +5
This is in slope-intercept form:
y = mx +b
where m = -3 and b = 5.
The parameter m represents the slope of the line. A parallel line will have the same slope, so will be of the form ...
y = -3x +b
We can find the value of b using the given point:
8 = -3(6) +b
26 = b . . . . . . add 18
So, the equation of the parallel line through (6, 8) is ...
y = -3x +26
