Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-5, 7) and is parallel to the line y = 4x + 5?

Answer 1

Answer:

y=4x+27

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel, it would have the same slope, so you already have that.

Now, you need the y-intercept of the second line. You already have one point, so use that point and the slope to find the y-int. What you can do (since you know you have to go up 4 and over 1, add a 1 to the -5 until you get to zero. your y-int would be 7+20 since you've gone up 5x4)

your final answer (i think) should be y=4x+27, but I could be wrong :))
