Question

write an equation for the line parallel to the given that contains CC(3,6); y= -4x+1y=.......(type your answer in s slope-intercept form)

Answer 1

Let:

$m1=-4$

If two lines are parallel, then:

$m1=m2$

Let:

(x1 , y1) = (3, 6)

Using the point slope equation:

$\begin{gathered} y-y1=m2(x-x1) \\ y-6=-4(x-3) \\ y-6=-4x+12 \\ y=-4x+12+6 \\ y=-4x+18 \end{gathered}$
