Transcribed Image Text:The problem asks to find the equation of a line parallel to the one graphed that passes through the point \((6, -1)\).
### Graph Description:
- A coordinate grid is shown with a blue line that slopes downward from left to right.
- The x-axis ranges from 0 to 5.
- The y-axis ranges from 0 to 6.
- The line intersects the y-axis at approximately 6 and moves downward, indicating a negative slope.
### Question Choices:
- **A)** \( y = \frac{1}{3}x + 1 \)
- **B)** \( y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 1 \)
- **C)** \( y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 6 \) (Highlighted as the correct answer)
- **D)** \( y = -\frac{7}{6}x + 6 \)
The task is to identify which equation represents a line parallel to the given line that passes through the specified point. The correct answer is choice C, which has the same slope as the graph.
