Question

Find the slope-intercept form of the lines with the following properties.

Answer 1

Hello!

If you want to find an equation that is parallel to another equation, and passing through the point (1, 4), you need to create a new equation with the same slope, you need to substitute the given point into the new equation to find the y-intercept.

m = 3, y = 3x + b (substitute the ordered pair)

4 = 3(1) + b (simplify)

4 = 3 + b (subtract 3 from both sides)

b = 1

Therefore, the line parallel to the line y = 3x - 2 and passing through the point (1, 4) is y = 3x + 1.
