Question

Write the equation of the line passing through (2,-3) and parallel to y=4x-9.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4x - 11 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The line y = 4x - 9 has a slope of 4 so our line will also contain 4x.

Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)  ,   we have m = 4 and (x1, y1) = (2, -3):

y - -3 = 4(x - 2)

y + 3 = 4x - 8

y = 4x - 11  (answer).
