1. Write the equation of the line that passes through (8 , - 20) and (5 , - 2). Show all steps of the work.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

- slope

- point on a line

The formula of a slope:

- points on a line

We have two points:

Calculate the slope:

Substitute to the equation of a line:

    subtract 20 from both sides

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
