Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 2x + 4 and passes

through the point (-4,-1). mo2
x2

Answer 1

y=2x+7

Explanation:

Let's start with the equation y=2x+b. Since this is parallel to y=2x+4, the slope remains at 2.

Substitute (-4,-1) into it, and we get -1=2(-4)+b

-1=-8+b

b=7

So y=2x+7
