Question

Write an equation in slope – intercept form for the line that passes through the given paint andis parallel to the given equation.1.(4, -3), y = 3x - 5

Answer 1

For parallel lines the slopes condition is as follows:

`m1=m2`
`m1=3`

For the equation y = m1x + b

`b=y-m1x`
`b=-3-3\cdot4\rightarrow b=-15`

The equation would be:

`y=3x-15`
