Find the equation of the line parallel to y=5x+1 that contains the point (4,8)
1 answer:
The equation of a parallel line will have the same x-term, but a different constant (y-intercept). The required value can be found by putting the given point values in to the equation to see what it needs to be.
... y = 5x + ___
... 8 = 5·4 + ___
... 8 - 20 = -12 = ___
Your equation is ...
... y = 5x -12
