Find an equation in slope-intercept form of the line satisfying the specified conditions.
-Through (6, 7), parallel to - 7x + 3y = - 39
A) y =(7/3)X-7
B) y = (3/7) X - 1
C) y = (-7/3) X + 7
D) y = - 13x - 13

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of the given line is found by rearranging it into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), which gives y = (7/3)x + 13. A line parallel to this has the same slope, 7/3. Using the point (6, 7) and the slope 7/3, the equation is y = (7/3)x - 7.
