Question

Am I right? What is the equation of the line that is parallel to y = –4x + 3 and has a y-intercept of -1/3?

Answer 1

Is it y=4x-1/3?

Answer 2

almost, the slopes should be the same

Answer 3

Hmm.. This is multiple choice and they don't have -4x as an option.

Answer 4

They have 4x-y=1/3

Answer 5

slope of parallel lines are same

Answer 6

Yeah, there isn't an option that's -4, unfortunately.

Answer 7

ok if the lines are of the form ax+by=c, the slope is \(\frac{-a}{b}\)

Answer 8

transfer -4x on other side

Answer 9

-4x=y-1/3?

Answer 10

no, y+4x=-1/3

Answer 11

y+4x=-1/3

Answer 12

Ah, thank you very much. :-)
