Question

What is the equation of the line passing through (–3, 6) and parallel to the line y = 4x – 2 in standard form?

Answer 1

Do u know: parallel lines have equal slopes

Answer 2

@soccerstar808 ???

Answer 3

yes but like this is confusing me to the point where i am gonna cry

Answer 4

okay start there both lines have equal solpes, therefore we know that the gradient m=4

Answer 5

ok then what?

Answer 6

then we know that the eqn of a straight line is y=mx + c

Answer 7

so it would be 6=(4)-12+2?

Answer 8

So can I help?

Answer 9

sure any way you can i need the answer asap

Answer 10

what did u get?

Answer 11

x-4y=-18 but it doesnt seem rite

Answer 12

that is wrong

Answer 13

what is it then

Answer 14

let y=4x+c be the equation of the required line then use the given point to find the value of c

Answer 15

c=18

Answer 16

YEP

Answer 17

use the eqn y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 18

so,
y=4x+18

Answer 19

is the correct answer

Answer 20

got it?

Answer 21

oh ok but the homework answers are
x– 4y = –18

x + 4y = 18

4x – y = –18

4x + y = 18

Answer 22

substitute given point in the question and then your answer pops out, two simple steps.

Answer 23

y=4x+18
-18=4x-y
4x-y=-18

Answer 24

got it?

Answer 25

yep thanks.
