Write an equation of a line parallel to y = 1 over 4x − 6 in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (−1, 5).

y= 1 over 4x − 1

y= 1 over 4x + 5.25

y= −4x + 5

y= −4x − 1.25

When do we say that two line are parallel

anonymous · Answer

when they have the same slope?

xapproachesinfinity · Answer

Correct! So what is the slope of the given line?

anonymous · Answer

y= 1/4x − 1?

xapproachesinfinity · Answer

That is the equation of the line, can tell me what the slope of this line is?

anonymous · Answer

1/4?

xapproachesinfinity · Answer

Correct! now the parallel line will also have slope 1/4
they gave us the point that the line passes through

anonymous · Answer

so would it be y = 1/4x + 5.25?

xapproachesinfinity · Answer

How did you get that?
