Question 255494: Im not sure if this is the right section, but...
please help. I have a few questions like this, and i do not remember the formulas.
Write the slope of a line that is parallel to the like y=4/3x+13
Also- Write the equation of a line that is parallel to the like y=4x+32 and that passes through the point(6,-2)
Sorry that i have two questions. Please and thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1) The slope of a line that is parallel to the line y=4/3x+13 is m = 4/3
The given line is of the form y=mx+c
2. Let the equation of a line that is parallel to the line y=4x+32 be
y=4x+c ...(1) where c is a constant.
Given, the point (6,-2) lies on it.
Put x=6 and y=-2 in (1)
We get, -2 = 4*6+c
-2-24 = c
c = -26
Substituting in (1), we get
the wquation of the required line is y=4x-26
