Q. Which of the following is an equation of the line in the xy x y -plane that passes through the point (1,1) (1,1) and is parallel to the line with equation y=3x1 y=-3 x-1 ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) y=13x+4 y=\frac{1}{3} x+4 \newline(B) y=13x+1 y=\frac{1}{3} x+1 \newline(C) y=3x+4 y=-3 x+4 \newline(D) y=3x+1 y=-3 x+1
  1. Identify slope of line: Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the given line y=3x1y=-3x-1 is 3-3.
  2. Use point-slope form: Use the point-slope form of a line equation, yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where mm is the slope and (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is the point the line passes through.
  3. Plug in slope and point: Plug in the slope 3-3 and the point (1,1)(1,1) into the point-slope form: y1=3(x1)y - 1 = -3(x - 1).
  4. Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation: y1=3x+3y - 1 = -3x + 3.
  5. Isolate yy variable: Add 11 to both sides to get yy by itself: y=3x+3+1y = -3x + 3 + 1.
  6. Combine like terms: Combine like terms: y=3x+4y = -3x + 4.
