Answer:
y- intercept = - 39
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 12x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 12
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = mx + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (4, 9) into the partial equation
9 = 48 + c ⇒ c = 9 - 48 = - 39 ← y- intercept
Answer:
y-intercept = -39
Step-by-step explanation:
if two lines are parallel it means they have the same gradient so we compare the equation given to the default equation of a line
y=mx+c
y=12x+2
comparing we have the gradient m=12 now finding the equation of the line parallel to the given line we use
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y1=9 and x1=4
y-9=12(x-4)
y-9=12x-48
y=2x-48+9
y=2x-39
comparing to the default equation of a line y=mx+c where c is the y-intercept
therefore the y-intercept is -39
