Question

Whick equation describes the line that passes through (-3, 1) and is parallel to the line y = 4x + 1?

Answer 1

y = 4x + 13

Explanation:

First of all, if they are parallel, they must have the same slope, so the 4x is the same. all we need to do now is to change the b to make it cross the point (-3, 1). Doing so, we see that the y-intercept becomes 13. Therefore, the equation is y = 4x + 13.
