On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, negative 3) and (negative 1, 5). What is the equation of the line parall

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

y=4x-16

Explanation:

The general form of the equation of a line is: y=mx+x, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given points (-3,-3) and (-1,5)

We are to find the equation of the line parallel to the given line with an x-intercept of 4.

First, we determine the value of the gradient of the line.

Gradient,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\=\frac{5-(-3)}{-1-(-3)} \\=\frac{5+3}{-1+3}\\=\frac{8}{2}\\m=4$

Two lines are parallel if their gradients $m_1 \: and \: m_2$ are equal.

The gradient of the line parallel to the given line $m_2=4$

Since the x-intercept of the new line is 4, a point on the new line, $(x_1,y_1)=(4,0)$

Substituting $(x_1,y_1)=(4,0)$ into the equation of a line: , $y-y_1=m(x-x_1),$ we have:

$y-0=4(x-4)\\$Therefore:\\y=4x-16$

Therefore, the equation of the line is: y=4x-16
