Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.
\n" ); document.write( "4y = x; (4,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Put equation in slope intercept form y - mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "4y = x
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"1%2F4\"$ x
\n" ); document.write( "the slope is 1/4 and the intercept is 0
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have equal slopes:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point slope formula: y - y1 = mx(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "In this problem m = 1/4, x1 = 4; y1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y - 0 = $\"1%2F4\"$ (x - 4)
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"1%2F4\"$ x - 1 is line parallel to 4y=x and go thru 4,0 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
