This question says “use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form and in slope intercept form”.

Passing through (-6,-2) and parallel to the line whose equation is y=-4x+5

I can’t figure this out to save my life.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4x + 5.....slope here is -4. A parallel line will have the same slope.

y = mx + b

slope(m) = -4

(-6,-2)....x = -6 and y = -2

now we sub and find b, the y intercept

-2 = -4(-6) + b

-2 = 24 + b

-2 - 24 = b

-26 = b

so ur equation is : y = -4x - 26 <====

Y= -4x +5 , (-6,-2)
-2 = -4(-6) + b
-2 = 24 + b
-24 -24

-26 =b
