Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation. (4,-3); y=-5x+8

Answer 1

Explanation:

The slope of the line is m = -5

4 is your x1

-3 is your y1

Plug into the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 3 = -5(x - 4)

y + 3 = -5x + 20

-3 -3

y = -5x + 17
