Question 240850: Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.
4y=x;(4,0) Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.
4y = x; (4,0)
Put equation in slope intercept form y - mx + b
4y = x
divide both sides by 4
y = x
the slope is 1/4 and the intercept is 0
;
Parallel lines have equal slopes:
:
Use the point slope formula: y - y1 = mx(x - x1)
In this problem m = 1/4, x1 = 4; y1 = 0
:
y - 0 = (x - 4)
y = x - 1 is line parallel to 4y=x and go thru 4,0
