Question

Write an equation for the line parallel to the given line that contains C. C(4,8); y=-3x+1

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so you know m = -3

Since you are given a point C(4, 8), you would use point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = -3(x - 4)

y - 8 = -3x +12

y = -3x + 20
