The equation of line L is 2x+y=3 Line M is parallel to line L and passes through
(1,−6)

Work out the equation of line M.
Give your answer in the form
y=ax+b

(3 marks)

y = -2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We transform the line equation of L:

2x + y = 3 --(-2x)--> f(x) = y = -2x + 3

We now know that L intersects the y-axis at 3 and it has a slope of -2.

In order to construct a parallel line M, it needs to have an identical slope to L.

All we need to do now is to move one step from the given point (1,-6) towards 0 with the predetermined slope of -2, resulting in the point (0,-4).

Since we know slope and intersection with the y-axis (0,-4), we can construct the line equation:

f(x) = y = -2x - 4 for line M.

answer: its the third option.
