Question

Write an equation in​ slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation. (-6, -6); y=-2x+4

Answer 1

y = 2x + 6

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope is 2.

y = mx + b

When need the slope which is given to be 2

We will use the point given (-6,-6) for an x and y on the line

m= 2

x -= -6

y = -6

y=mx+ b

-6 = 2(-6) + b Sole for b

-6 = -12 + b Add 12 to both sides

6 = b

y = 2x + 6
