Question

Write an equation for a line that is parallel to y = -4x + 2 and passes through the point (-2, 5).

Answer 1

y = -4x - 3

Explanation:

y = -4x + 2

Substitue Y and X and turn 2 into b(or y intercept)

5 = -4(-2) + b

Solve for b

5 = 8 + b: subtract 8 from both sides

-3 = b

substitute for 2 with same slope(to keep parrallel)

y = -4x - 3
