Answer:
y = -2x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallel line has an equation of y = -2x + 7;
And its slope is -2.
The slope of the line that passes through (4,1) is also -2 since parallel lines have the same slope.
Taking another point (x,y) on the line that passes through (4,1):
slope(m) = change in y ÷ change in x
-2 =
Cross multiplying gives;
y - 1 = -2x + 8
y = -2x + 9
Answer: y=1/2x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of the line that passes through the points, we need to find out slope, m.
We plug our points into this formula to find slope.
Our slope is 1/2. To find our y-intercept, b, we would plug any point into the equation for slope-intercept form.
y=mx+b
y=1/2x+b
1=1/2(4)+b
1=2+b
b=-1
Now that we know b, our equation is y=1/2x-1.
