An Algerbra II Question?

The quest itself is very confusing, let me read it for you:

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and satisfies the give condition.

(-2,3); Parallel to y=4x-3

Does anyone knows what I am supposed to write?

parallel lines always have the same slope. so you know the other line will have a slope of 4 (m=4). now you take the point (-2,3) and plug it into the equation y=mx+b to find b.

slope=4

y=3

x=-2

so……. 3=4(-2)+b

b=11

then take m and b and put it back into the form y=mx+b

y=4x+11

You have to write an equation that goes through the point -2, 3 and is parrallel to y=4x+3

well m=4(cause its parellel)

so then you write out the point slope formula, which is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

plug in points and slope.

y-3=4(x+2)

distribute 4(x+2)=4x+8

so then you have

y-3=4x+8

add 3

y=4x+11 thats your answer.

it’s either

a.] y= 4x+11

or

b.]y = -3x-3

I’m just to lazy to graph it,

so I’m not so sure about the answers
