Question

What slope passes through -3,7 and is parallel to 4x-1?

Answer 1

y = 4x + 19

Explanation:

`\text{Let}\ k:y=m_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2.\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-(1)/(m_1)\\\\l\ ||\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\\text{We have}\ k:y=4x-1\to m_1=4.\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=4.\\\\l:y=4x+b\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point (-3, 7) to the equation of a line:}\\\\7=4(-3)+b\\7=-12+b\qquad\text{add 12 to both sides}\\19=b\to b=19\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\y=4x+19`
