Find the equation of the line that passes through (4,4) and is parallel to
y=3x+4 Leave your answer in the form y=mx+c

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = - 3x + 5

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 )

Given

3x + y + 2 = 0 ( subtract 3x + 2 from both sides )

y = - 3x - 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 9 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 9 = 5

y = - 3x + 5 ← equation of line in form y = mx + c

The equation of line which parallel to given line is, [tex]y=3x-8[/tex]

Slope intercept form:

The equation of line in slope intercept form is,

                            [tex]y=mx+c[/tex]

Where m is slope of line and c is y-intercept.

Equation of line given that,

                            [tex]y=3x+4[/tex]

So that, slope of line is [tex]3[/tex]

We have to find the equation of the line that passes through (4,4) and is parallel to given lines.

Since, slope of all parallel lines are same.

Equation of required line is,

                          [tex]y=3x+c[/tex]

Substitute point (4,4) in above line.

                        [tex]4=12+c\\\\c=4-12=-8[/tex]

So that, equation of line become,

                       [tex]y=3x-8[/tex]
