What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (-4.-6)

Answer»

The question seems to be incomplete but anyway, here is the process to follow to get the desired solution.

What we need to know?

1) The slope of parallel LINES are the same

2) We will need to know what a point-slope formula is

... y - y = m ( x - x )

m = slope

Let's SAY the slope is 2 and we have to write the equation of the line which is parallel and passes through ( -4, -6 )

Now, all we do is substitute this in the point slope formula.

... y - ( -4 ) = 2 ( x - ( -6 ))

... y + 4 = 2 ( x + 6 )

... y + 4 = 2x + 12

... y = 2x + 8

The equation we would get is y = 2x + 8.

As the slope is not provided in the question, I just took an example.

Hope it HELPS! :)
