y=mx+b form, do not use decimals. Leave improper fractions improper. help?
THis was the original question and this answer, y=(5/4)*x+23

Answer 1

that answer was wrong

Answer 2

first fine the slope of the paralel line
= 3-(-2) / 6-2 = 5/4

use formula y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 18 = (5/4) (x - (-4))

y = (5/4) x + 23

Answer 3

its correct fox

Answer 4

yep
