Question

A line is parallel to y = -2x + 1 and

intersects the point (4, 1). What is the
equation of this parallel line?
y = [?]x + [ ]
Hint: Use the Point-Slope Form: y - y1 = m(x - X1)
Then write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y = -2x + 9

Explanation:

y = -2x + 1

(4, 1)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = -2(x - 4)

y - 1 = -2x + 8

+ 1 + 1

y = -2x + 9

Hope this helps!
