Which of the following is the equation of a line parallel to the line y = 3x + 2,
passing through the point (10.1)?
A. -3x - y = 29
B. 3x - y = 29
C -3x + y = 29
D. 3x + y = 29

Respuesta :

Answer:

B

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 = 3x + 2 is in this form with slope m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (10, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 30 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 30 = - 29

y = 3x - 29 ← in slope- intercept form

Subtract y from both sides

0 = 3x - y - 29 ( add 29 to both sides )

29 = 3x - y, thus

3x - y = 29 ← in standard form → B
