What is the y-intercept of the line that is parallel to the line y = 2x - 3 and passes through the point (6,11)?
What is the y-intercept of the line that is parallel to the line y = 2x - 3 and passes through the point (6,11)?
In the form y = mx - b ⇒ m is the slope and b is the y intercept
So....the slope of the given line is 2
And since parallel lines have the same slope, the equation of our line is :
y = 2 (x - 6) + 11
y = 2x - 12 + 11
y = 2x - 1
So the y intercept is just -1
