write an equation for a line parallel to 4x-y=1

Question

please help ASAP

 

Answer 1

4x - y = 1

 

change equation above to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

 

y = 4x - 1

 

the slope of the line above will be 4 (coefficient of x).  Any line parallel to this line will also have a slope of 4.

 

so, you have the slope and you just need a value for the y-intercept. Any value for the y-intcept will do. let's try 3.

 

so:

 

y = 4x + 3
