Question

write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation.
(-4,-8)
y = -2x+5

Answer 1

hi

Answer 2

hi

Answer 3

the line is parallel to the equation y=-2x+5 means they have d same slope

Answer 4

so wat do u think d slope wuld be?

Answer 5

well idk im not sure how to even start out

Answer 6

ok the equation is in d form y=mx+b where m is d slope.....so the value in front of x is the slope

Answer 7

so the slope is -2

Answer 8

yep correct!

Answer 9

now since d equation of the line we are looking for has that same slope we are done

Answer 10

well not done per say but almost there.......slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Answer 11

y= -2(-4) + 5(-8)
y = 8 + -40

Answer 12

nope

Answer 13

y=-4 and x=-8
i.e -8= -2(-4) +b

Answer 14

now solve for b

Answer 15

im so confused

Answer 16

ok so where are u confused about

Answer 17

what am I suppose to plug into y=mx+b
