Question

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

Answer 1

what is the slope you need to use to make it parallel to y=4x-2?

Answer 2

It doesn't say..

Answer 3

no you have the info you need, for it to be parallel you use the same slope as the equation given. so what is the slope in y=4x-2?

Answer 4

would it be 4 ?

Answer 5

hint in y=mx+b, m is the slope

Answer 6

so then it would be 4??

Answer 7

yes good job, so now we have y=4x+b, lets fill in the x and y from the coordinates given.

Answer 8

so then 6=4(-3)+b?

Answer 9

wait do you need to find the b also? do you have to graph it?

Answer 10

No, but these are the choices they gave me to choose from.
x – 4y = –18

x + 4y = 18

4x – y = –18

4x + y = 18

Answer 11

im so confused

Answer 12

no no you are on the right track! now solve for b in 6=4(-3)+b

Answer 13

would b be -6?
