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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

what do you mean?

Answer 3

solve for b or for the y intercept.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

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