A line is parallel to y= 4x-2 and intersects the point (5,-11). what is the equation of this parallel line? y=4x + ?

The equation of line parallel to given line is: y=4x-31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

The equation of line is in slope-intercept form so the co-efficient of x is the slope of the line.

Let m1 be the slope of the given line

then

m1 = 4

Let m2 be the line that is parallel to given line

As we know that the slopes of parallel lines is equal so

m1=m2 = 4

The slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

Putting the value of slope

to find the value of b, putting (5,-11) in the equation

Putting the value of b

Hence,

The equation of line parallel to given line is: y=4x-31
