how do i figure out the equation in in slope-intercept form of the line satisfying the given: the line passes through (-3, 2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is y=4x+1?

parallel= same slope
OpenStudy (aroub):
use y=mx+b
^ ^
slope y-intercept
OpenStudy (aroub):
did u understand till now?
OpenStudy (ineedhelpnow):
so, would it be y=-3x+2?
OpenStudy (aroub):
no! :( / u have a wrong slope

we said that parallel lines have same slope
OpenStudy (ineedhelpnow):
slope is 4x then, right? i'm not sure how to get this one.
OpenStudy (aroub):
yes ur right but without the x its only 4
OpenStudy (aroub):
so try again! :)
OpenStudy (aroub):
what did u get?

Do you know the formula to be used to determine slope?
OpenStudy (curry):
y = mx + b
OpenStudy (curry):
its u lug in the value of x and y
and solve for b for y intercept
OpenStudy (curry):
radar can u help me on my question after tyhis
OpenStudy (radar):
I am referring to the slope when a Point known; where slope m is = to:
\[y _{2}-y _{1}\over x _{2}-x _{1}\]
