Question

f a graph is a line that is parallel to the line g(x) = −8x − 1 and contains the point (5, 3), determine the linear function.

Answer 1

y = -8x + 43

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. The line g is -8x - 1 and has slope -8.

To find a line parallel to it, substitute m= -8 and the point (5,3) to determine th equation.

y - 3 = -8(x - 5)

y - 3 = -8x + 40

y = -8x + 43
