Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to y=-8x+6 that contains the point (-8,6).

Answer 1

y = mx + b

The slope is the same since the lines are parallel, so

m = -8

y = -8x + b

Now use the given point (-8,6) to find b.

6 = -8(-8) + b

Solve for b and finish from here,
