Question

Write an equation of the line passing through the given point and satisfying the given condition. Give the equation (a) in slope-intercept form and (b) in standard form.

(6, 2); parallel to 8x - y = 4
(a) Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
(Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.)

Answer 1

(a) y=8x-46

(b) 8x-y=46

Explanation:

-y=-8x+4

y=8x+4

We know that 8 is the slope, and if we need a equation parallel to this line, then it will have the same slope.

Substitute (6,2)

2=8(6)+b

2=48+b

b=-46

The final answer is y=8x-46
