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)

Question

anonymous · Answer

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?

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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