Question

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

the line parallel to y = –8x – 3 through (–1, 4)


y = –8x –12
y = 1/8x - 4
y = 8x –4
y = –8x –4

Answer 1

Parallel lines have the same slope. So can you tell what the slope of the first line is?

Answer 2

It's in the form y=mx+b where m=slope

Answer 3

I still don't understand?

Answer 4

The line you wanna find is parallel to the line with the equation y=-8x-3

From that equation you can tell the slope is -8, and parallel lines have same slope.

Answer 5

So , its gonna be y=-8x-4

Answer 6

Yep.

Answer 7

Thanks (;
