Question 1059898: Find the slope of a line parallel to the line that crosses (4,3) and the y-intercept is (0,4).

For the following problem, the slope and one point on a line is given. Use the point-slope form to find the equation of that line. (Write your answer in slope-intercept form.)
(−2,4), m = 0
Please help me with these problems :(

Find the slope of a line parallel to the line that crosses (4,3) and the y-intercept is (0,4).

%284-3%29%2F%280-4%29
1%2F-4
highlight%28-1%2F4%29--------Parallel means same slope for the two lines.




Use the point-slope form to find the equation of that line. (Write your answer in slope-intercept form.)
(-2,4), m = 0

Trivially simple.
y-4=0%28x%2B2%29
but much simpler just to say highlight%28y=4%29 or y-4=0.
Slope-intercept form closest to y=4.
