What is the equation in point slope form for the line that is parallel to y=-8x-12 that contains the point (-3,3)

Parallel Slope:
Equation:

Respuesta :

Answer:

The equation of a parallel line in point-slope form would be y - 3 = -8(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we must first note that the original slope is -8. Parallel lines have the same slope, so we know that the new line will also have the slope of -8.

Given this information, we can use the point and slope and put them into the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = -8(x - -3)

y - 3 = -8(x + 3)
