The equation of <em>line m</em>, in point-slope form is: y + 3 = 4(x - 1)
<em><u>Recall:</u></em>
- The slopes of parallel lines are equal to each other.
- Slope-intercept form equation is: y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
- Point-slope form equation is:
where,
is a point and m is the slope.
Equation of line m is y = 4x + 2
Slope of line m is 4
Since line m and line n are parallel, both lines will have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of line n is 4.
To write the equation for line if it contains the point (1, -3), substitute = (1, -3) and m = 4 into
:
Therefore, the equation of <em>line n</em>, in point-slope form is: y + 3 = 4(x - 1)
