Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,-3) and is parallel to the line 4x-y=2

Its not y=4x+11 that was incorrect

Answer 1

y=4x+1

Explanation:

1. 4x-y=2

-y=-4x+2 divide both sides by -1

y=4x-2

2. y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-3)=4(x-(-1))

y+3=4x+4

y=4x+4-3

y=4x+1

Parallel lines have the same, so the equation we are making should have the slope of 4.
