Question

write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line whose equation is y = -4 and that passes through the point (1,5).
a. y = -5
b. y = -4
c. y = 1
d. y = 5

-4? b

zale101 · Answer

y = -4 
y=0x-4
Now, 
Using point slope formula, the slope is zero so m =0
x1,y1= (1,5)
$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$
$y-5=0(x-1)$

zale101 · Answer

with parallel lines, slopes have the same slope, but since the slope of y=-4 is zero, then the line that is parallel to it has the same slope which is zero.

Makes sense?

anonymous · Answer

yea but wat do i get for my answer???? its not -4??

zale101 · Answer

Yeah, if you solve this $y-5=0(x-1)$ you'll get the solution.

zale101 · Answer

so, it is not -4

zale101 · Answer

Can you solve this equation and solve for y?
