Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and parallel to the given line. (-2,3); y=-x+4 ASAP PLS

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since the lines are parallel, they got equal slopes

m1 = m2

First, what's the slope of the first line y = x + 4

y = x + 4 compared to y = mx + c

yh, m = 1 [I hope u understand that... That's coefficient]

m1 = 1

Then, m1 = m2 = 1. [parallel lines]

Yh, we use:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = 1( x - (-2) )

y - 3 = 1(x + 2)

y - 3 = x + 2

y = x + 5

The equation is y = x + 5
