Question

What equation is parallel to y= -1/4+5 and passes through (2,-3)? HELPPPPP PLEASE!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -1/4x - 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you mean y = -1/4x + 5.

This has slope of -1/4 so the required equation has the same slope ( as they are parallel).

Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

y - (-3) = -1/4(x - 2)

y + 3 = -1/4(x - 2)

y = -1/4x + 1/2 - 3

y = -1/4x - 5/2
