Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,-7)(−4,−7) and is parallel to the line 3x-y=43x−y=4?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3x -y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel line will differ only in the constant. The new constant can be found by filling in the x- and y-values for the given point.

  3x -y = 3(-4) -(-7) = -12 +7

  3x -y = -5
