A line is parallel to y = 3x + 2 and intersects the point (1,9). What is the
equation of this parallel line?
y = [?]x + [ ]
Hint: Use the Point-Slope Form: y - y1 = m(x - X1)
Then write the equation in slope-intercept form.

y = 3x+6

Explanation:
1. First find the slope. Since you are finding a line that is parallel to y = 3x+2, the slopes should be the same. This means that 3 will be your slope.
2. plug in (1,9) and the slope of 3 into the point-slope form equation

y - 9 = 3 ( x - 1 )

3. simplify y - 9 = 3 ( x - 1 )

y = 3x+6 is your answer
