Question

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = -1/4x+ 5 passing through the point (4,2)​

Answer 1

y = -1/4x + 3

Explanation:

Step 1: Write out known variables

m = -1/4

y = -1/4x + b

Step 2: Find b

2 = -1/4(4) + b

2 = -1 + b

b = 3

Step 3: Rewrite equation

y = -1/4x + 3
