Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-4, -2) and parallel to y = 1/4x + 2.
y = 4x - 1

y = 4x - 3

y = 1/4x - 3

y = 1/4x - 1

Answer 1

\[\Huge y=mx+c\]
where m is the slope,compare with
y = 1/4x + 2
The co-efficient of x is the slope.
Now use standard equation,
\[\Huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]

Answer 2

(x1:-4,
y1: -2)

Answer 3

Step by step guys...
Slopes, @stephanie12212
When two lines are parallel, what's the relation of their slopes?

Answer 4

so @DLS how do I solve that after I put those in the equation?

Answer 5

that is your answer..

Answer 6

Parallel lines have same inclination/slope.
