How do you wirte the slope-intercept form of an equation of the line that passes through the given points and its parrell to the graph of each equation?
(-2,5), y=-4x+2
----------------
Form: y = mx + b where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
-----------------
Your Equation:
slope = -4 sinceit is parallel to y = -4x+2 which has slope = -4.
intercept:
You are givey = 5 when x = -2, so solve for "b":
5 = -4*-2 + b
b = -3
--------------
Answer: y = -4x - 3
