Question

Help me please. real answers only. Write an equation for the line parallel to the given line that contains C.

C(2,8); y = - 4x + 5
y =
(Type your answer in slope-intercept form.)

Answer 1

y = -4x + 16

Explanation:

The slope of the given line is -4

when two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal

That means the slope of the second line is -4 too

Thus, we have to use the point-slope form to write the equation

That will be

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-8 = -4(x-2)

y -8 = -4x + 8

y = -4x + 8+8

y = -4x + 16
