Question

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

Answer 1

first sub that point into f(x) = mx + b along with the same slope of that second equation and solve for b an equation that is parallel has the same slope but a different y -int

Answer 2

Okay well ive done some research online and ive reviewed several pages on how to solve this, I came up with y = 4x -2 but thats not one of my answers :(

Answer 3

what are your answers ?

Answer 4

y = 4x + 10
y = 1/4x + 5/2
y = -4x - 6
y = -1/4x + 3/2

Answer 5

oh i believe the answer is y = 1/4x + 3/2

Answer 6

Okay thank you, Do you mind explaining how you got that so i know what to do for the future?

Answer 7

also its negative 1/4x

Answer 8

@timanti

Answer 9

oh ok and you're welcome

Answer 10

So its still D even though its negative?

Answer 11

no its most likely y = -4x -6

Answer 12

its minus 6 not negative xD

Answer 13

So would it still be correct?

Answer 14

yes
