Choose the equation of the line passing through (3, - 3) and parallel to 7x + y = 4

Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through (3, - 3) and parallel to 7x + y = 4

Answer 1

y=-7x -4 has slope = -7

y=-7x + b where b = y intercept. plug in y=-3 x=3 to solve for b

-3= -21 + b

b = 18

y=-7x +18 is the parallel line through the point (3,-3)
