how do you find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through (-5,3) and is parallel to y=4x-7

Question

anonymous · Answer

First, do you know the slope of your line?

anonymous · Answer

-5

anonymous · Answer

Wait, how did you come up with "-5"?

anonymous · Answer

no......the slope of a line in y = mx + b form, is in the m position.
so look at the equation, y = 4x - 7.....what is the slope ?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, Kellie's right.

Do you know "Point-Slope Form"?
Given a slope "m" and a point P
$$y - y _{0} = m(x - x _{0})$$
