Please help me I don’t get this Write the equation of the line that is parallel to y=3x-2 and goes through the points (-4,2)

Alright so answer is y=3x+14

Since you need to find a PARALLEL line to y=3x-2, you already know that the incline is 3x because otherwise the two lines would intersect somewhere.

So for your new equation you now have y=3x+b, so you only need to find b. To do so you’ll need to replace all other variables by numbers with the point that is given and then isolate b.

You can do so with the point that is given to you (-4, 2). You replace y by 2 since the point is (x,y) and replace x by -4.

You now have
2=3(-4)+b
2=-12+b
2+12=b
14=b

You now have your equation: y=3x+14
