Question

Write the equation of a line that goes the through the point (4 , -2) and is parallel to the line y = 3x - 1/3.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel to another, it will have the same slope

So, the line's slope will be 3

Plug in the given point and the slope into y = mx + b, and solve for b

y = mx + b

-2 = 3(4) + b

-2 = 12 + b

-14 = b

Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b

y = 3x - 14

So, the equation is y = 3x - 14
