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?

OpenStudy (aroub):

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

OpenStudy (aroub):

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?

OpenStudy (radar):

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: \[y _{2}-y _{1}\over x _{2}-x _{1}\]

OpenStudy (ineedhelpnow):

y=4x+14

OpenStudy (radar):

yes sir
