Please, can you give me the equation for a line that is parallel to y=-3x?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

Y=-3x+10

The slope has to be the same (-3) and the Y-intercept (10)can be anything.

The equation of a line parallel to ( y = -3x ) would have the same slope. Since the slope of ( y = -3x ) is -3, any line parallel to it would also have a slope of -3. Therefore, the equation of a line parallel to ( y = -3x ) can be expressed as ( y = -3x + b ), where ( b ) is the y-intercept.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
