Answer:
y = - 3x + 26
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 3x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (6, 8 ) into the partial equation
8 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = 8 + 18 = 26
y = - 3x + 26 ← equation of parallel line
