nice day folks eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
(4,3)(2,2)
slope = (2 - 3) / (2 - 4) = -1/-2 = 1/2
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/2
use either of ur sets of points...(4,3)...x = 4 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 1/2(4) + b
3 = 2 + b
3 - 2 = b
1 = b
so ur equation is : y = 1/2x + 1 <==
Answer:
y=2x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
When an equation is parallel to another, it shares the same slope.
Our original line is y=2x-8, and it is in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
This means that our slope is 2 because m represents the slope.
The slope of our parallel line will then also be 2.
<u>We can begin to plug that into point-slope form which is:</u>
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
This is where (x1, y1) is a point the line intersects, and m is the slope.
<u>Plugging in the slope, we'll have:</u>
y - y1 = 2(x - x1)
We also know it intersects the point (-4, -1）
We can plug this into our equation as well.
y - (-1) = m(x - (-4))
y+1=2(x+4)
<u>Now, we can simplify it into slope-intercept form:</u>
y+1=2(x+4)
Distribute
y+1=2x+8
Subtract 1 from both sides
y=2x+8-1
y=2x+7
b.
they're just intersecting.
