Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,-3) and is parallel to the line 4x-y=2

Answer 1

Answer:

y=4x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4x-y=2

  -y=-4x+2   divide both sides by -1

  y=4x-2

2. y-y1=m(x-x1)

   y-(-3)=4(x-(-1))

    y+3=4x+4

    y=4x+4-3

    y=4x+1

Parallel lines have the same, so the equation we are making should have the slope of 4.
