Which equation is the slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (6, –11) and is parallel to the graph of y = –23x + 12?
a. y = –23x – 7
b. y = –23x – 6
c. y = 23x – 5
d. y = 23x – 15

Equation of other line passing through point (6 , - 11) and parallel to given line is  y = - 23 x + 127 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The equation of one line

y = - 23 x + 12

∵ The equation of line in slope-intercept form is

y = m x + c

where m is the slope of line and c is y-intercept

Now, Compare given line with standard line equation

So, The slope of given line = m = - 23

Now, Again

Other line is passing through point (6 , - 11) and is parallel to given line

so, both the lines are parallel

For parallel line condition , Slope of both lines are equal

Let The slope of other line = M

So, M = m = - 23

Now, Equation of other line passing through point (6 , - 11) and slope - 23 in slope-point form

y - = M × (x -  )

i.e y - ( - 11) = (- 23) × (x - 6)

Or, y + 11 = - 23 × x + 138

Or, y = - 23 x + 138- 11

i.e y = - 23 x + 127

So, The equation of other line  y = - 23 x + 127

Hence, Equation of other line passing through point (6 , - 11) and parallel to given line is  y = - 23 x + 127 . Answer
