Can someone Explain Step by Step how to do this???
Find the equation of the parallel line to each of the following that passes through the point indicated.
y = -4x - 3 passing through the point (2, -7)

anonymous · Answer

parallel lines have the same slope or gradient

anonymous · Answer

so the gradient of your given line is -4
i.e m = -4 (from y =mx+c)

anonymous · Answer

u now have m = -4 and a point (2,-7)
use the formula $$y=m(x-x _{1})+y _{1}$$ where $$x _{1}=2$$and $$y _{1}=-7$$

does that make sense to u?

anonymous · Answer

yeah it does im gonna work it out real quick thanks!

anonymous · Answer

yw

anonymous · Answer

its y = -4x +1 right?

anonymous · Answer

u got it!!!!

Thanks Again! :)
