Question #5cceb Algebra Forms of Linear Equations Equations of Parallel Lines 1 Answer Astralboy Apr 13, 2017 Use point-slope form: #y-y_1=m(x-x_1)# #y_1=-4# #x_1=6# We don't have #m#. #m# will be the slope of the equation of the parallel line. You can find that by writing the other equation as #y=mx+b# and getting the #m# from that equation. However, since we don't have the slope, we'll simply use #m#: #y-(-4)=m(x-6)# #y+4=mx-6m# #y=mx-6m-4# Answer link Related questions Are two lines with the same slope and y intercept considered to be parallel?
