Question

the line parallel to y=-4/3x+1 with a y intercept of 3
please help i dont understand

Answer 1

Parallel lines have the same slope.

What is the slope of the line y=-4/3x+1 ?

Answer 2

the slope would be -4/3

Answer 3

Yes. And so the parallel line will also have the slope of -4/3

The general equation of a line in slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the intercept.

For the parallel line, you already have slope m = -4/3

They tell you the parallel line has the intercept 3 which means b = 3

Just plug them into y = mx + b and you will have the equation of the parallel line.

Answer 4

y=-4/3x+3?

Answer 5

You got it!

Answer 6

thanks that was pretty easy lol

Answer 7

you are welcome. It is easy once you get familiar with it.
