What is the equation of a line that contains the point (2,-5) and is parallel to the line y=3x-4

y = 3x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (2, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = 6 + c ⇒ c = - 5 - 6 = - 11

y = 3x - 11 ← equation of parallel line

your answer would be b
