Question

Write an equation in​ slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation. (-2,-3); y=-4+2

Answer 1

y = -4x - 11.

Explanation:

Its slope = slope of y = -4x + 2, which is -4.

Using point-slope form of a straight line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-3) = -4(x - (-2))

y + 3 = -4(x + 2)

y = -4x - 8 - 3

y = -4x - 11.
