Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.

Answer 1

y=1/4x-25/4

Explanation:

Lines that are parallel from an equation have the same slope, so your slope is 1/4.

Use point slope formula to solve for slope intercept form.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m= 1/4

x= 1

y= -6

y-(-6)=1/4(x-1)

y+6=1/4x-1/4

y=1/4x-25/4
