write an Line equation

Question

Write an equation for line L in​ point-slope form and​ slope-intercept form.

L is parallel to y=3x LINE L is 2,-4

Answer 1

parallel lines have the same slope = m = 3, the coefficient of the x term when the equation is solved for y

y=3x + b where b = the y intercept. To solve for b, plug in the point (2,-4)

-4 = 6 + b

b = -10

y=3x -10 is the parallel line through the given point
