Question

Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is parallel to x + 4y = 6  and passes through the point (-8, 5)


 A.    
y=−1 4  x+3 
 
 B.    
y=−1 4  x+6.75 
 
 C. 
y = x - 13
 
 D. 
y = x + 13

solomonzelman · Answer

x + 4y = 6 
4y=-x+6
y=-1/4x+6

so lets do the following
y=-1/4x+b  plug in  (-8, 5)
5=-1/4(8)+b

solve for b and rewrite it.

what do you mean?

solomonzelman · Answer

solve for b or for the y intercept.

solomonzelman · Answer

Do you get how I got y=-1/4x+6?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

that's the problem I don't know how to get b
