Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that two parallel lines have the same slope.

Thus, if we begin with y = 2x - 4, we know that this new line through (-1, 6) will also have slope 2.

Starting from the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, we substitute 2 for m, -1 for x and 6 for y:

6 = 2(-1) + b

and solve for the new y-intercept, b:

6 = -2 + b, or

b = 8

Then the new line has the equation y = 2x + 8
