Question

How do you find an equation of the line that contains the given point and is parallel to the given line (-9,61), y= -6x 10?

Answer 1

Since the new line is parallel, the slope is also `-6`

Explanation:

So we're looking for an equation of the form `y=-6x+b`
that will satisfy `(-9,61)`, or:

`61=-6*(-9)+b->`

`61=54+b->b=7`

The equation is `y=-6x+7`
