Question

Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (4, -1), and is parallel to the line with the equation y=1/3x+1.

Answer 1

Answer:y=1/3x-7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. y-y1=m(x-x1)

• y+1=1/3(x-4)
• y+1=1/3x-4/3

2. you need to isolate the variable so subtract 1 from both sides

• y+1=1/3x-4/3
•   -1           -1
• y=1/3x-7/3
