Q. The equation of line g is y=6x−7. Line h, which is parallel to line g, includes the point (1,1). What is the equation of line h? Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as simplified proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers.
Identify parallel lines: Line h is parallel to g, so they have the same slope.
Determine point and slope: Line h passes through the point (1,1) and has the same slope as line g, which is 6.
Use point-slope form: Plug the slope 6 and the point (1,1) into the equation y=mx+b to find b.
Isolate y-intercept: Solve for b.
Calculate b value: Subtract 6 from both sides to isolate b.
Write equation of line h: Calculate the value of b.
Write equation of line h: Calculate the value of b. Write the equation of line h using the slope 6 and y-intercept −5.
