Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point P and is

parallel to the line with the given equation. You may use either point-
slope form or slope-intercept form.
P(-1,3), y = 4x - 2
Equation of parallel line:

Answer 1

Since the lines are parallel their slopes are equal. So, the equation is y=4x+b
Now we need to find the y-intercept, which is b.
Now, Plug in point p to find b:
3=4*(-1)+b
b=3+4=7
The equation is: y=4x+7
