Question

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, negative 3) and (negative 1, 5). What is the equation of the line parallel to the given line with an x-intercept of 4?

Answer 1

Y = mx + c

m = gradient

gradient of line:
[5 - (-3)]/[(-1) - (-3)]
= 8/2
= 4

y = mx + c
subsitute (4, 0)
0 = (4)(4) + c
0 = 16 + c
c = -16

equation of the line:

y = 4x - 16

hope this helped :)
