What is the equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y = -2x + 10 that contains J(6, 8)? Select one: a. y - 8 = -2(x - 6) b. x - 8 = 2(y - 6) c. y - 8 = 2(x - 6) d. y + 8 = -2(x - 6)

Answer 1

Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the parallel line is then -2.

y-8 = -2(x-6)

so option D

in slope intercept form it is:

B = y - mx

B = 8 - (-2)(6) = 8 - -12 = 20

y = -2x + 20
