Question

Write an equation parallel to the function y=2x+3 and goes through the point (1, -4)

Please help!!

Answer 1

y=2x-6

Explanation:

Parallel functions are functions with the same slopes but are in different positions on the coordinate plane (for this case it means that they have different y- intercepts)

So this means that the function will have a slope of 2

To find the equation we must plug in the value (1, -4) and find the new y-intercept(c)

(-4)= 2(1)+c

-4-2=c

-6=c

This means that the parallel function that goes through the point (1,-4) is

y=2x-6
