Write the equation of the line that is parallel to 4y − 24 = 4x and passes through the point (−5, −2).

Answer 1

4y = 4x +'24

y = x + 6

m = 1

We have 2 choices, use the point-slope formula, or solve for b with what we have.

y - (-2) = 1(x - (-5))

y + 2 = x + 5

y = x + 3

or...

-2 = 1(-5) + b

-2 = -5 + b

b = 3

y = x + 3
