Question

find the equation for the line that passes through the point (1,-3) and that is parallel to the line with the equation (y-2)=1/4 (x+4)

Answer 1

parallel means same slope, so the slop is 1/4

Answer 2

next just plug the point (1,-3) into a point-slope equation format and ur done!

Answer 3

How would I be able to do that?

Answer 4

(y-2)=1/4 (x+4) its the same format as this

Answer 5

(y-y1)=m (x+x1) where m = the slop which is 1/4. (x1, y1) is the coordinate of ur point (1,-3)

Answer 6

Is the answer y=1/4x+13/4?

Answer 7

u mean y=1/4x - 13/4?

Answer 8

y-(-3) = y+3

Answer 9

so you would subtract 3 from both sides

Answer 10

Okay that makes sense. Thank You.

Answer 11

no problem
