Question

Write an equation in slope- intercept form for the line described.

parallel to y = -3x + 4, x- intercept at 4

Answer 1

y = -3x + 12

Explanation:

If two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal, then m = -3

x intercept is 4 then y = 0

y = mx + b

0 = -3(4) + b

b = 12

y = -3x + 12
