Question

Write an equation that is parallel to the line 4x-y=2 and passes through the point (-2,3)?

Answer 1

the desired equation is 4x - y = -10

Explanation:

Recall that parallel lines have the same slope.

A quick trick for finding this new equation is to adapt the given equation 4x - y = 2. Replace that constant 2 with the constant C, and substitute -2 for x and 3 for y:

Our 4x - y = 2 becomes 4(-2) - (2) = C, and -8 -2 = C, or C = -10.

Then the desired equation is 4x - y = -10

Answer 2

y = 4x + 11 (I believe this is correct)
