Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line y
Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line y = - 15x and contains the point (6, - 3). Y = (Type your answer in slope-intercept form.)
Solution
given line y =-15x
slope of given line m =-15
given that our required line is parallel to given line
we know that slopes of parallel lines are equal
so slope of required line is m =-15
given required line contains (6,-3)
equation of required line using point slope form is y-(-3)=-15(x-6)
y+3=-15x+90
y=-15x+87
equation of required line is y =-15x+87
