Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation.
(-2,5), y = -4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

Note: In parallel lines the slopes are the same

so put in (-2,5) into the values for (x,y) in y=mx+b and -4 in for m.

5=(-4)(-2)+b

5=8+b

-3=b

So then we put that back into the original equation with the slope of -4

y=(-4)x-3

Hope that helps :)

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
