Question

Find the equation of the line that

is parallel to y = 4x + 1 and
contains the point (1, 1).
y = [? ]X + [ ]

Answer 1

Answer: y = 4x - 3

Explanation:

y-y=m(x-x)

y-1=4(x-1)

y-1=4x-4

y=4x-3

Answer 2

y = 4x - 3

Explanation:

A parallel line will have the same slope so the slope will remain 4. To fine the new y-intercept, we can substitite the point we are given.

1 = 4(1) + b

1 = 4 + b

-3 = b

Now, we can create the new equation with the information we found.

y = 4x - 3

Best of Luck!
