Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Question

Write the slope-intercept form of an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the line of the equation shown.  (-1,4) y=1/3x-2

Answer 1

the parallel line must also have slope 1/3

B = y - mx = 4 - (1/3)(-1)

= 4 + 1/3

= 12/3 + 1/3

= 13/3

y = (1/3) x + 13/3
