Question

Write the equation of the line PARALLEL to the line y = 4x - 9 that passes through the

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line y = 4x - 9 is 4.

The slope of the line we are looking for is also 4.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 4[x - (-2)]

y - 4 = 4(x + 2)

y - 4 = 4x + 8

y = 4x + 12

Answer: y = 4x + 12

Answer 2

The answer is y=4x+12. Since it’s parallel, the slopes are the same, so now you only need to solve for the y-intercept so you have (4) = 4(-2) +b. Thus, b =12
