Write an equation of the line with y-intercept 3 that is parallel to y=-3/4x-4

Answer 1

Kate,

If two lines are parallel to each other, they have the same slope (but different y intercepts). So the line we are trying to find has a slope of -3/4. Since we are also given the y-intercept, we can easily write this into traditional y = mx + b form: y = -3/4x + 3.

Hope this helps! :)
