What is the equation of the line that is parallel to y−5=−1/3(x+2) and passes through the point (6,−1)? The equation will be in slope-intercept form.

Question

y=−x/3−17/3

y=x/3+19/3

y=x/3+1

y=−x/3+1

y=−x/3−1

Answer 1

Parallel lines have the same slope. So find the line with the same slope that goes thru the given point.
