Question

What is the equation of a line parallel to y=3x -4 that has the same x intercept as 3x-5y + 9 = 0

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of first line is 3, by comparing it with y=mx + c

to know the point for second line, put y=0

we get x=3

thus the required line has a slop of 3 and passes through the point (3,0)

to know y intercept we will substitute the value in y=mx + c

0=3*3 + c

c= -9

hence required equation is

y= 3x - 9
