Q. Which of the following is an equation of the line in the xy-plane that passes through the point (1,1) and is parallel to the line with equation y=−3x−1 ?Choose 1 answer:(A) y=31x+4(B) y=31x+1(C) y=−3x+4(D) y=−3x+1
Identify slope of line: Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the given line y=−3x−1 is −3.
Use point-slope form: Use the point-slope form of a line equation, y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point the line passes through.
Plug in slope and point: Plug in the slope −3 and the point (1,1) into the point-slope form: y−1=−3(x−1).
Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation: y−1=−3x+3.
Isolate y variable: Add 1 to both sides to get y by itself: y=−3x+3+1.
Combine like terms: Combine like terms: y=−3x+4.
