Question 12728: What is the answer to these problems: find the slope-intercept form of the question whose graph passes through (1,4) and is parallel to a line whose equation is y=3x+5 and find the slope-intercept form of the equation whose graph passes through (0,5) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=6x-4

Your first question, a line parallel to y = 3x + 5 passing through (1,4)
If two lines are parallel they have the same slope.
We know we want our line to have the form y = mx + b.
We know our slope HAS to be 3 becasue the lines are parallel
So now we have y = 3x + b use your point to solve for b
Substitute
Multiply
Subtract 3 from both sides

So we know our slope is 3 and y intercept is 1 so
y = 3x + 1 is parallel to y = 3x + 5

Your next question, a line perpendicular to y = 6x - 3 passing through (0,5)
If two lines are perpendicular thier slopes are NEGATIVE RECIPROCALS
We know we want our line to have the form y = mx + b
We know our slope for our Perpendicular line is ( -1/6 )
So now we have
Using your point ( 0,5 ) to solve for b
Simplify

We know our slope is ( -1/6 ) and our y intercept is 5 so
y = ( -1/6 )x + 5 is Perpendicular to y = 6x - 3
