Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-5,-1) and is parallel to the line .y= 4x-6

Answer 1

@Chikibabylovesyou Hi,

\(\huge \color{red}{\text{Welcome to Open Study}}\ddot\smile\)

can you find the slope of line y=4x-6 ?

Answer 2

The slope is 4

Answer 3

parallel lines have same slope,
so the slope of required line is also 4.
now you have slope = m=4 and a point = (x1,y1)=(-5,-1)
can you find the equation of line ?

Answer 4

the point slope form of equation of line is
\(\large y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)
where m=slope =4 here.
point =(x1,y1)= (-5,-1) --->x1=-5,y1=-1
just plug in values!

Answer 5

So, y=4x+19

Answer 6

yes, thats correct! good work :)

Answer 7

Thank you so much (:
