(2, 4) and is parallel to y = 4x + 8.
(2, 4) and parallel to y = 4x + 8
point slope form
y = mx + b
where m = slope and b = y-intercept
parallel lines have the same slope
y = 4x + 8 has a slope, m = 4 <====
use this slope value in the new equation
using the given point, solve for the y-intercept, b
4 = 4(2) + b
4 = 8 + b
subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate b
4 - 8 = b
-4 = b <==== y-intercept
with m = 4 and b = -4
y = 4x - 4 <==== slope-intercept form
y=4x-4
Do you want me to explain it for you?
