Write the equation to the line parallel to y= 3x – 5 that goes through the point (-2, -7) using any form.

Thank you!

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x - 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, - 7 ) into the partial equation

- 7 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = - 7 + 6 = - 1

y = 3x - 1 ← equation of parallel line
