(EASY) WILL MARK BRAINEST! Question: Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph
(-9,-2) y=-4x+1

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -4x - 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are parallel because they never intersect. As such, they have the same slope. The slope of the line y = -4x + 1 is -4. Substitute m = -4 and the point (-9,-2) into the point slope form of a line.

$y -y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y --2 = -4(x --9)\\y + 2 = -4(x+9)$

Apply the distributive property to find the slope intercept form.

y + 2 = -4(x+9)

y + 2 = -4x - 36

y = -4x - 38
