What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the lin

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 3x - 11 and passes through the point (1, -6)? y = -3x - 3 y = -1/3x - 17/3 y = 3x - 9 y = 3x + 6

Solution

Solution

since lines are parallel therefore slope of these lines are equal to each other

thus

slope of line y = 3x -11

is 3

equation of line passing through (1,-6) and having slope 3

(y-(-6))/(x-1) = 3

y+6 = 3x-3

y = 3x -9

thus option (C) is correct
