Q. The equation of line f is y+3=61(x−2). Parallel to line f is line g, which passes through the point (−6,1). What is the equation of line g ?Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as simplified proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers.
Identify slope of line f: Identify the slope of line f from its equation.The equation of line f is given in point-slope form: y+3=61(x−2).The slope of line f is the coefficient of (x−2), which is 61.Since line g is parallel to line f, it will have the same slope.
Write point-slope form of line g: Write the point-slope form of line g using the slope and the point it passes through.The slope of line g is 61, and it passes through the point (−6,1).The point-slope form is y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point.Substitute m=61 and the point (−6,1) into the equation.y−1=(61)(x−(−6))
Simplify equation of line g: Simplify the equation of line g to slope-intercept form. y−1=61(x+6)Distribute the slope 61 across (x+6).y−1=61x+61⋅6y−1=61x+1Add 1 to both sides to solve for y.y=61x+1+1y=61x+2
