Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to y=−4x−3 and that passes through the point (−2,4).

Answer 1

Answer:

The Correct option is Last one $y=-4x-4$

Therefore, equation of the line in slope-intercept that passes through (-2,4) and is parallel to the line $y=-4x-3$ is $y=-4x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y=-4x-3$

To Find:

Equation of line passing through ( -2, 4) and is parallel to the line y=-4x-3

Solution:

$y=-4x-3$ ..........Given

Comparing with Slope-Intercept form,  

$y=mx+c$

Where m =slope  

We get

$Slope = m = -4$

We know that parallel lines have Equal slopes.

Therefore the slope of the required line passing through (-2 , 4) will also have the slope = m = -4.

Now the equation of line in slope point form given by

$(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})$

Substituting the points and so we will get the required equation of the line,

$(y-4))=-4(x-(-2))=-4x-8\\\\y=-4x-8+4=-4x-4\\\\y=-4x-4......Equation\ of\ line$

Therefore, equation of the line in slope-intercept that passes through (-2,4) and is parallel to the line $y=-4x-3$ is $y=-4x-4$
