The slope of y = 4x – 2 is 4.
The slope of a line parallel to y = 4x – 2 is also 4.
Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line, the equation of the line parallel to y = 4x – 2 that passes through the point (–1, 5) is:
y - 5 = 4(x - (-1))
y - 5 = 4(x + 1)
y - 5 = 4x + 4
y = 4x + 9
Find the equation of the line parallel to the line y = 4x – 2 that passes through the point (–1, 5).
The slope of y = 4x – 2 is ___.
The slope of a line parallel to y = 4x – 2 is ___.
