How do you write this equation??

Question

I’m trying to write this math equation for homework.

how do the write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-1,2) and is parallel to the line y=4x-3 ??

Answer 1

y = mx + b

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so

m = 4

y = 4x + b

Find b from the given point.

2 = 4(-1) + b

b = 6

y = 4x + 6
