Q. Line c has an equation of y=34x+9. Line d is parallel to line c and passes through (−4,−4). What is the equation of line d?Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as simplified proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers.
Parallel Lines Slopes Match: Line d is parallel to line c. Do their slopes match? Yes, parallel lines have the same slope.
Equation of Line c: Equation of line c: y=34x+9Find the slope of line c.Compare y=34x+9 with y=mx+b.m=34Slope of line c: 34
Slope of Line d: Line d is parallel to c.Slope of line c: 34Find the slope of line d.Since line d is parallel to line c, its slope is also 34.Slope of line d: 34
Finding Y-Intercept: For line d: Slope (m): 34Point: (−4,−4)Plug these values in y=mx+b and find the y-intercept.−4=34(−4)+b−4=−316+bTo find b, add 316 to both sides of the equation.−4+316=bm0m1
Equation of Line d: For line d: Slope m: 34y-intercept b: 34What is the equation of the line d in slope-intercept form?Substitute 34 for m and 34 for b in y=mx+b. y=34x+34
