write down the equation of the line that is parallel to y=6x+1 and passes through (0,8)

Question

i need to know now pls.

Answer 1

Parallel lines mean they have the same slope. In the form y=mx+b, m=slope. Therefore, in the equation y=6x+1 the slope, m, equals 6.

 

1. Use the point-slope method:

 

    y=6x+1           original equation

    (0,8)                point given (x1,y1)

    y-y1=m(x-x1)  point-slope form

    Y-8=6(x-0)      substitute

    y-8+8=6x+8   add 8 to each side

    Y=6x+8           answer

Answer 2

slope = 6

 

point-slope form

 

y - 8 = 6(x-0) = 6x

 

slope-intercept form

 

y = 6x + 8
