Which of the following equations represents a line that is parallel to y = 3x +2
and passes through the point, (1,6)?

y=3x+3 is slope-intercept form

y-6=3(x-1) is point-slope form

I don't know the form your equation(s) are in. There are other forms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So the slope of y=3x+2 is 3.

Parallel lines have the same slope.  So the slope of the line we are looking for has a slope of 3.

Therefore, our equation his this form y=3x+b.

We need to now find b.

We know a point (x,y) on the line.

y=3x+b using (x,y)=(1,6).

6=3(1)+b

6=3+b

Subtract 3 on both sides:

3=b

So the equation is y=3x+3

Point-slope form is another form we can put our line into

y-y1=m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.

We have m=3 and a point (x1,y1) on the line is (1,6).

y-6=3(x-1)

It could also be

We can use point-slope to find this.  Parallel lines have the same slope, and the given line has a slope of 3 ( in ).  This means that the parallel line will also have a slope of 3.

Point-slope form is , where is the slope and is a known point on the line.

Plug in the values. (point-slope form)

Distribute.

Add 6 to both sides. (slope-intercept form)

parallel and congruent

step-by-step explanation:

the movement of translation is linear.   these have the same translation because you are using the same rule for each point of the triangle so you will see the same slope being used to get from a point on the triangle to its image.

same slope!   you should think parallel when you see those 2 word together (well unless it's the same line but it can't be because we are coming from different points here)

congruent! because each point is being moved the same distance.
