Question

A line is parallel to y = 4x + 11 and

intersects the point (-2, 4). What is the
equation of this parallel line?
y = [?]x + [ ]
Hint: Use the Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x − x1)
Then write the equation in slope-intercept form.
Enter

Answer 1

y =4x-18

Explanation:

y +2 = 4(x - 4)

y +2 =4x-16

y = 4x-18

Answer 2

y=4x+12

Explanation:

if a line is parallel to another they have the same slope ,,

y=mx+c

where m represents the slope

and c represents the intercepted part of y axis

so the slope equals 4 from y=4x+11

to find the intercepted part c ,, substitute by the given point in the equation y=mx+c

(-2,4),, and slope is 4

4= 4×-2+c

4= -8+c

c= 12

so the equation is

y=4x+12
