Question

9. Write an equation parallel to y = 2x + 4that passes through the point (-4,-1).

Answer 1

Answer:y=2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

so for the new equation, we know the slope is going to be the same (because its parallel) so for starters we have y=2x+b so now in order to find b (the y-intercept) we have to plug the point into the equation. So it would look like -1=2(-4)+b and then you solve for b and get 7 for b. SO the final answer is y=2x+7.
