The standard equation for a line is:
y = mx + b
where
m = the slope of the line
b = the y intercept
putting y - 3x = 6 in standard form:
y = 3x + 6
Therefore the slope of the line is 3. For lines to be parallel, the slope must be the same. Which of the possible answers has the same slope?
which equation represents a line parallel to the line given by y-3x=6?
A. y= -3x+4
B. y= 3x-2
C. y= 1/3x+6
D. y= -1/3x+4
