Question

what is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line (y - 1 = 4(x + 3)) and passes through the point ((4, 32))?

(y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 33)
(y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 36)
(y = 4x - 16)
(y = 4x + 16)

Explanation:

Determine the slope of the parallel line

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Write the equation in point-slope form

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Convert to slope-intercept form

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 33\)
  • (B) \(y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 36\)
  • (C) \(y = 4x - 16\)
  • (D) \(y = 4x + 16\) (Correct answer)
