Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation that goes through the point (0,0)
and is parallel to the line that has a slope of -6.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -6x

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

                                 slope↑      ↑y-intercept

parallel lines have the same slope, thus the slope is -6

substitute the y in (0, 0) and the slope of -6 into the equation y = mx + b:

=> y = -6x + 0

=> y = -6x
