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

hartnn · Answer

can u find the slope of line  y = 4x – 2

anonymous · Answer

4?

hartnn · Answer

that is correct.

hartnn · Answer

and slope of parallel lines are ..... ?

anonymous · Answer

they're the same but have different y-intercept

hartnn · Answer

correct again, so you got the slope of your line as m=4
the equation you will use is y=mx+c
any ideas how u find c ?

anonymous · Answer

no not rly.. i usually use the equation: y-y1=m(x-x1) to solve it.

hartnn · Answer

yeah, u can use that also, 
what u get when u  use that equation ?

anonymous · Answer

y-6= 4(x - -3)

hartnn · Answer

u know what to substitute for x1 and y1 ?

anonymous · Answer

yeah y1=6 x1=-3

anonymous · Answer

oh nvm I got the answer! Thnaks for your help though(:
