Question

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 2) and is parallel to y = 4x + 7.

y = 4x + 10

y = one fourthx + 5 halves

y = -4x - 6

y = -one fourthx + 3 halves

Answer 1

i need help

Answer 2

Parallel means they'll have the same slope
the slope you need in your new equation needs to be 4
to find an equation with that point in it use this equation
\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
where
m=slope
and
\[(x_1,y_1)=(-2,2)\]

Answer 3

Can you plug those in?

Answer 4

Are you there? I'm trying to help you...

Answer 5

sorry im back

Answer 6

Okay. substitute those in the given equation and I can help you finish up the problem!

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

so (-1,1)?

Answer 9

What?

Answer 10

I only asked you to put the information we new into the equation and you gave me a point.

Answer 11

\[y-(2)=(4)(x-(-2))=\]\[y-2=4(x+2)\]
Use distributive property
\[y-2=4x+8\]
Get y itself by adding 2 on both sides
\[y=4x+10\]

Answer 12

ok
