write the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (3,2) and is parallel to the line 3x + y = -7

Answer 1

line 3x + y = -7, is in slope intercept form y = mx + b, so slope m is 3.

line parallel to that line will have the same slope.

point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m = 3

for line passing through (3,2), x1 = 3 and y1 = 2

substituting these values:

y - 2 = 3(x -3)
