Question

Cassidy wrote the linear equation y = 5 x + 4. Then, she wrote the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 5 x + 4 and that passes through (8,–2). If her new equation is in the form y = 5 x + b, what is the value of b?

Answer 1

Hi! So basically we're gonna set up the equation
y=5x+b
(-2) = 5 (8) +b
-2 = 40 + b
Do you think you can solve for B and then set up the final equation?
