Question

Write an equation passing through the point and parallel to the given line. (4,7);y=3x+4

Answer 1

y = 3x - 5

Explanation:

y = 3x + 4....the slope here is 3. A parallel line will have the same slope.

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 3

(4,7)...x = 4 and y = 7

now we sub and find b, the y int

7 = 4(3) + b

7 = 12 + b

7 - 12 = b

- 5 = b

so ur equation is : y = 3x - 5 <===
