Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through the given line and is parallel to the given line.
left parenthesis 2 comma 1 right parenthesis semicolon space y equals negative 3 x plus 8

hintHint:

  • Parallel lines are lines in a plane that are always the same distance apart. Parallel lines never intersect.

The correct answer is: y = -3x + 7


    • We have to write an equation of a line that passes through the given line and is parallel to the given line.
    Step 1 of 1:
    We will first find the equation of the line that passes through (2,1) and parallel to the the line

    y = -3x + 8
    Slope of two lines will always be same.
    So, Slope of the line will be -3
    Since it passes through (2,1)
    The equation will be

    y - 1 = -3(x - 2)
    y = -3x + 7
