Question

Write the standard form of the equation (4,4) parallel to y=-6x+5​

Answer 1

Lines that are parallel to each other has the SAME slope.

The slope of y = -6x + 5 is -6 (the number before x)

Okay so now you have the slope, what’s next?

If you have to write it in point slope form the equation will be y - 4 = -6 ( x - 4 )

If you have to write it in slope intercept form, first you have the find b ( the y intercept)

To find be, replace the “y” and “x” into 4
And “m” into -6

4 = 6(4) + b (solve for b)
4 = 24 + b
-24 -24

-20 = b

Now that you have the slope and the y - intercept, the equation will be
y = -6x - 20 !
