Suppose the line through points (,) and (,) is parallel to the graph of . Find the value of .
you are looking for parallel to the graph of
parallel lines have same slope, so find slope of the line
-> slope
so far we have
if the line passes through point(,), then we can use it to find y-intercept

so, our line is
if the line passes through point(,), then and , so plug it in and solve for

so, the line passes through point(,)
check it on a graph:
