Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the

given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation.
(-2,5), y = -4x + 2

Answer 1

Explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

Note: In parallel lines the slopes are the same

so put in (-2,5) into the values for (x,y) in y=mx+b and -4 in for m.

5=(-4)(-2)+b

5=8+b

-3=b

So then we put that back into the original equation with the slope of -4

y=(-4)x-3

Hope that helps :)
