Cassidy wrote the linear equation y = 5 x + 4. Then, she wrote the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 5 x + 4 and that passes through (8,–2). If her new equation is in the form y = 5 x + b, what is the value of b?

b=−5x+y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for b.

y=5x+b

Step 1: Flip the equation.

b+5x=y

Step 2: Add -5x to both sides.

b+5x+−5x=y+−5x

b=−5x+y

“a term can be a signed number, a variable, or a constant multiplied by a + sign or j sign. in , the terms are 5x , 3y and 8. when a term is made up of a constant multiplied by a variable or variables, that constant is called a coefficient.” i hope this you.

b. b < 1 might be the correct answer
