Question

Find an equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions.
Through (3, 8); parallel to the line passing through
(4, 6) and (0, 2)

Answer 1

I got y=4x-4 how is that wrong???

Answer 2

Well since the line is parallel to the one with those given points, it means they have the same slope. And the slope of (4,6)(0,2) is not 4

Answer 3

Then when you find the actual slope, you use the point (3,8) to find your line with the

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 4

Did you get what the slope is?
