Question 807836: Hello, I need help understanding this math problem. Please help me if you can. Thank you
Write an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line
y = 2x + 3 and the given point (-4,1). Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! By saying the unknown line is parallel to the
line you are saying that it has
the same slope.
------------------
When the form of the equation is
as in this case, slope = , so slope =
-------------------
So far, you know your unknown equation looks like
And, also it goes through the point (x,y) = (-4,1)
-----------------
Now I can plug in the x and y value of this point
--------------
So, the equation you are looking for is:
-----------------
check:
does it go through (-4,1) ?
OK

Here's a plot of both lines:
