Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (-4,2) and is parallel to the graph of y=3x-5

Answer 1

Y=3x+14

Explanation:

since the line is parallel to y=3x-5, they have the same slopes

so m=3

then use y-y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation using the point (-4,2) that it passes through

substitute: y-2=3(x-(-4)) --> y=3x+12+2

y=3x+14
