identify an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to y=-3x+7 that passes through (2,-4)

y = -3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel to each other, they have the same slope.

The first line is y = -3x + 7. Its slope is -3. A line parallel to this one will also have a slope of -3.

Plug this value (-3) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = -3x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (2, -4). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

-4 = -3(2) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (2)

-4 = -6 + b

Now, add 6 to both sides to isolate b.

2 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -3x + 2

This equation is parallel/perpendicular to your given equation (y = -3x + 7) and contains point (2, -4)

Hope this helps!

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
