write the equation of the line in slop-intercept form that contains the point (-2,1) and is parallel to the line y=4x-1

Question

write the equation of the line in slop-intercept form that contains the point (-2,1) and is parallel to the line y=4x-1

Answer 1

The slope is 4 and we use the given point (-2,1 )to find b.

y = mx + b

1 = 4(-2) + b

b = 9

y = 4x + 9
