Question

47.44Cassidy wrote the linear equation y 5x+4 Then, she wrote the equation of the line that is parallel to y 5x+4and thatpasses through (8, 2). lf her new equation is in the formy 5x+ b, what is the value of b?Mark this and returnSave and ExitNextSubmit

Answer 1

y=mx+b
m=slope
paralell has same slope

point (8,-2)
x=8 and y=-2 is a solution

sub those for x and y
-2=5(8)+b
-2=40+b
minus 40 both sides
-42=b

the value is -42
