Find the equation of the line that passes through (1,-2) and is parallel to y = 3x + 4.
Leave your answer in the form y = mx + c

Answer :

Answer: y=3x-5

Step-by-step explanation: Find the slope of the original line. slope is m=3. Then use the point slope formula  [tex]y-y1=m(x-x1)[/tex] to find the line parallel to y=3x+4. Parallel lines have the same slope. so you substitute the given point (x1,y1)(1,-2) and slope m=3  into the point slope formula.

y-(-2)=3(x-1)  

y+2=3x-3  

y=3x-5
