Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to y=4x-1 and passes through the point (4.9)

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = 4x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the slope-intercept for equation, we can find the intercept:

  y = mx +b

  y -mx = b . . . . . subtract mx

We know the slope of the parallel line is the same as that of the given line (m=4), so we only need to find 'b'.

  b = 9 -4(4) = -7

The desired equation is ...

  y = mx +b

  y = 4x -7
