What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y - 1 = 4(x + 3) and passes through the point (4, 32)

Question

HELP, THIS IS A LINEAR EQUATION. 

Answer 1

y-1 = 4(x+3)

Put this into slope intercept form y=mx+b

y-1=4x+12

y =4x+13

the slope is 4

 

parallel lines have same slope so you want

equation for line with slope m=4

through (4,32)

y=4x+b  using (4,32) for (x,y) solve for b

 

32=4(4)+b

32=16+b

16=b

 

your equation is

y = 4x + 16
