Question

Help ?
Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-4, -2) and parallel to y = 1/4x + 2
a. y = 4x - 1
b. y = 4x - 3
c. 1/4x - 3
d. 1/4x - 1

Answer 1

alright :) so if it's a parallel line the slope will remain the same, right?

Answer 2

The slope of the first line is 1/4. This means the slope to our new line is also going to be 1/4.

Answer 3

does this equation look familiar?
y-(point Y)= m(x-(point X))

m=slope which is 1/4
point y=-2
point x=-4

just plug in the numbers to find the answer :)

Answer 4

y-(-2)=(1/4)(x-(-4))
