The slope will be the same, so we know the equation will be y=-2x+b. But there is a different b.
For x=4, y will be 1 because the point (4,1) is given.
So 1=-2*4 + b => b = 9
So the equation of our parallel line is y=-2x+9
If we subtract 1 from both sides, we get y-1 = -2x + 8
Then factor out -2 on the right hand side: y-1 = -2(x - 4)
That's answer A!
Its simple. You collect like terms and put them on one side of the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
the second one, of course.
a y-intercept is a point where x = 0.
the 2 options are clearly having y-values of -2 and +2.
