What is the equation of a line that is parallel to y=6x+7 and passes through (0,9)

Enter your equation in the box

Respuesta :

Answer: The equation of a line that is parallel to y=6x+7 and passes through (0,9) is y=6x+9.

Explanation:

The equation of given line is

[tex]y=6x+7[/tex]

The slope intercept form of a line is,

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where, m is slope and (0,b) is y intercept.

On comparing the given equation with slope intercept form we get,

[tex]m=6[/tex]

The slope of the given line is 6.

Since the slope of parallel line are equal, therefore the slope of required line is 6.

The point slope form of a line.

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

The slope of required line is 6 and it passing through the point (0,9),

[tex]y-9=6(x-0)[/tex]

[tex]y=6x+9[/tex]

Therefore the equation of a line that is parallel to y=6x+7 and passes through (0,9) is y=6x+9.
