Question

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line y=3/4x+2 and passes through the point (-2, 8)?

Answer 1

Parallel --> same slope. slope here is 3 / 4

plug in point for x & y to solve for b (y-intercept)

y = 3/4 x + b
8 = (3/4)(-2) +b
8 = (-6/4) + b
8 = (-3/2) + b
8 + 3/2 = b
*side note 8 = 16/2 *
16/2 + 3/2 = b
19/2 = b
9.5 = b

So equation is:

y = 3/4 (x) + 9.5
