Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-4, -2) and parallel to y = 1 fourthx + 2.

Answer 1

I will give 10 medals

Answer 2

please you have to apply this formula:
\[y-y _{0}=m(x-x _{0})\]
where (x_0,y_0) is your point and m is your slope, namely 1/4

Answer 3

these are the answer choices
y = 4x - 1
y = 4x - 3
y = 1 fourthx - 3
y = 1 fourthx - 1

Answer 4

which one do u think it is

Answer 5

The slope is 1/4 because you are looking for the parallel line of the equation y=1/4+2. Parallel lines have the same slope.

Answer 6

y=1/4x+2*

Answer 7

that's right! @Zale101

Answer 8

Based off of what michele and i said, what you think the answer is? @miamelii

Answer 9

I have no idea haha

Answer 10

You're not trying :\

Answer 11

I mean I dont understand it, I think its C

Answer 12

Apply the point slope formula given by michele. Plug in the given point (-4,-2) and the slope 1/4 for m. Have you tried that?

Answer 13

yes so its B

Answer 14

like they already said
parallel mean SAME slope
do you know what is slope of this line y = 1 fourthx + 2 ???

Answer 15

what?

Answer 16

the slope are the same of parallel lines so the slope of the line is 1/4. plug in -4, -2
-2=1/4*-4+b
b=-1
y=1/4x-1

Answer 17

y = mx + b
slope intercept form equation where m is slope which is always with x
and b is y-intercept
equation you have is already in slope form
so what is m in your equation
what number is with x ???

Answer 18

1/4

Answer 19

ys

Answer 20

yes right now you can cancel out two answer choices

Answer 21

thankyou @AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 22

k

Answer 23

wait so the anser is D

Answer 24

which two answer choices you can cancel ???

Answer 25

A/B

Answer 26

yes right

Answer 27

yes d

Answer 28

now use same slope intercept form equation
they gave you x and y values now replace x and y by -4 and -2 then solve for b
