Write an equation of the line in the form y = mx + b if the line has the same
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept as the line whose equation is 2y = 6x+8
\n" ); document.write( "and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x + 4y = 20
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the y intercept from the equation 2y = 6x + 8
\n" ); document.write( "divide equation by 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "y intercept = 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope from the equation 4x + 4y = 20
\n" ); document.write( "divide equation by 4
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "put in the slope/intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "m = -1 (parallel lines have the same slope)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation parallel to the above with a intercept of 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x + 4 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
