the equation for line w is y=3x-4.line d contains the point (2,-1) and is parallel to line with.write an equation that describes line d?


Please answer asap.thank you

Respuesta :

Considering the definition of parallel line, the equation of the line d is y= 3x -7.

Linear equation

A linear equation o line can be expressed in the form y = mx + b

where

  • x and y are coordinates of a point.
  • m is the slope.
  • b is the ordinate to the origin and represents the coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y axis.

Parallel line

Parallel lines are two lines that prolonged towards infinity never touch.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and different y-intercepts.

Equation of parallel line in this case

In this case, the line is y=3x-4

where:

  • The slope m is 3.
  • The y-intercept is -4.

Since two lines are parallel if they have the same slope, the parallel line has a slope of 3.

The line passes through the point (2, -1). Replacing in the expression for a line:

-1= 3× 2 + b

-1= 6 + b

-1 -6= b

- 7= b

Finally, the equation of parallel line is y= 3x -7.
