Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A line that is parallel to the line that goes through (-3, -3) and (-1, 5) will have the same slope as the one we will find when we plug those numbers into the slope formula. Let's do that first:
[tex]m=\frac{5-(-3)}{-1-(-3)}=\frac{5+3}{-1+3}=\frac{8}{2}=4[/tex] so the line we need to write has a slope of 4. Moving on...
If the x-intercept we need is 4, that means that we need to understand what an x-intercept is. The x-intercept exists where y = 0; so what we need to do is to write the equation of the line that has a slope of 4 and passes through the point (4, 0). Doing that:
y - 0 = 4(x - 4) and
y = 4x - 16
