---
the slope of the line parallel to y=4x-17 is: 4 (equal slopes)
---
given:
(1,-2)
---
to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this (the given point and the parallel slope):
1,-2,4
into the "Point-Slope form: x1 y1 m" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
---
x-intercept = (1.5, 0)
y-intercept = (0, -6)
slope = 4
---
answer:
the slope-intercept form of our new line:
y = 4x - 6
