Question

Find the equation of the line parallel to y = 3x - 2 that passes through
the point (4.8) in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a line parallel to another will have the same slope, just a different y-intercept or b-value. Using this, we suggest the equation of the question $y = 3x + b$, as we can solve for b. The point (4,8) was given, which means that an input of 4 as x returns 8 as y. Thus, $8 = 3(4) + b$. Solving this gains b = -4
