Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-4, -2) and parallel to y = x + 2.

y = 4x - 1

y = 4x - 3

y = x - 3

y = x - 1

Answer 1

if it parallels to a line, they have the same slope. so the slope of the new equation is also 1

Answer 2

now you just need to find b in equation y=x+b when x=-4, y=-2

Answer 3

so its y=4x-3?

Answer 4

so in a equation, y=ax+b, a is always the slope, so if the slope is 1, a=1

Answer 5

im so confused :/
