write an equation of a line that passes through the point (2,6) and is parallel to the line y=-3

Answer 1

The line parallel to y=-3 will also be in the form y= a constant. To make it go through a specific point, use the y coordinate from that point. For (2,6) the y coordinate is 6. (It really helps to draw a picture when you are working with horizontal or vertical lines going through a point)

y=6
