Question

In the xy coordinate plane, the slope of a line is 4 and it passes through the point (1, 3). Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (3, 1)​

Answer 1

Answer: Y=-1 or Y=-1+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula y2- y1 over x2-x1 so it should look like this 1-3 over 3-1 which is -2 over 2 then you divide that which is -1 and if you have to find one all you have to do is use one point label which is x and y so I pick (1,3) so you put 3=-1(1) once you have that you multipy so -1 times 1 is -1 so your gonna add 1 to the -1 and the three the -1 cancel out because it is a zero pair 3+1 is 4 so B=4
