35. What is the equation of the line that is
parallel to y = 4x + 3 and passes through
the point (2,6)?

HELP! answer if you can!

Hi there! :)

Given line with an equation of y = 4x + 3

Parallel lines contain equivalent slopes, so a parallel line to the given equation would contain a slope of m = 4.

Plug in the coordinates of the point given, along with the slope into the equation y = mx + b where:

m = slope

y = y-coordinate of point

x = x-coordinate of point

Solve for the 'b' value, or y-intercept:

y = mx + b

6 = 4(2) + b

6 = 8 + b

b = -2

Rewrite the equation as slope-intercept form:

y = 4x - 2

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
