Question

write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point: 4y=x;(4,0)

Answer 1

slope of the given line is m = 1/4
given point (4, 0)

put in point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the given point.

what do you have?

Answer 2

so y-0=1/4(x-4)

Answer 3

yep. but clean it up. your answer can also be expressed as:
y=1/4(x-4)
or
y = 1/4*x -1

Answer 4

o ok thanks I see how you did that. Thank you so much. I was very confused on this concept.
