Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.  y  =  0.8x  − 3; (−1, 6) 

The parallel equation is y = 0.8x + 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of any line, we first start with the slope. The slope will be the same as the original equation (0.8) since parallel lines share slope. Then we can use slope intercept form and a point to find the intercept.

y = mx + b

6 = 0.8(-1) + b

6 = -0.8 + b

6.8 = b

This allows us to model the equation as y = 0.8x + 6.8
