Q:

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y − 1 = 4(x + 3) and passes through the point (4, 32)? A)y = –x + 33B)y = –x + 36C)y = 4x − 16D)y = 4x + 16

Accepted Solution

A:
The parallel line has the same slope, which is 4. y=4x+c and we find c by plugging in the point:
32=4×4+c, c=32-16=16 so y=4x+16, answer D.
