Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point. y = –5x 3; (–6, 3

Answer 1

Using the point- slope form: y-$y_{1}$ = m (x-$x_{1}$,
we know that parallel lines have the same slope or m value. The point given is our ($x_{1}$, $y_{1}$).

y-3 = -5 (x-(-6))
y-3 = -5 (x+6)
y-3 = -5x-30
y-3+3 = -5x-30+3
y = -5x-27
