Write the slope-intercept form of the equation to the line parallel to the graph of y+6=-4(x-1) that passes through the point (2,4).

y = -4x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. Since the slope of the given equation is -4, then the slope of the other line parallel to it must be the same.

Using the slope, m = -4, and the given point, (2, 4):

Substitute these values into the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

4 = -4(2) + b

4 = -8 + b

4 + 8  = -8 + 8 +  b

12 = b

Therefore, the equation of the line parallel to  y + 6 = -4(x - 1) is:

y = -4x + 12

4x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, so get y on one side.

do the multiplication first -4(x-1) is -4x+4

Now move the six to the other side; y=-4x+4-6

Simplify, y=-4x-2
