Find the equation of the line that passes through (1,4) and is parallel to 3x+y+2=0. Leave your answer in the form y=mx+c.

Sagot :

Answer:

y = -3x + 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the given line by converting to intercept form:

3x + y + 2 = 0

y = -3x - 2

So the slope is -3.

Then the line we want has a slope of -3 also (as it is parallel).

y - y1 = m(x - x1)   where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line:

m = -3,  x1 = 1 and y1 = 4, so we have:

y - 4 = -3(x - 1)

y = -3x + 3 + 4

y = -3x + 7.
