Parallel straight line equations have the same slope but with different y intercepts
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
The equation is x = -7.
Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms of the line which then can't be considered to be a straight line equation. In general for lines to be parallel to each other they will both have the same slope but different y intercepts.
Assuming the equation of the given line is y = 3x + 4, its gradient is 3.Therefore the gradient of the required line is 3. The line passes through (3, 1) and so its equation is y - 1 = 3*(x - 3) = 3x - 9 So y = 3x - 8
Given a triangle and a line, if the line passes through two sides of the triangle parallel to the third side, then it cuts the sides proportionally.l
Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line (-7,3); x=4
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
Any equation parallel to the x-axis is of the form:y = constant In this case, you can figure out the constant from the given point.
Any equation parallel to the x-axis is of the form:y = constant In this case, you can figure out the constant from the given point.
The equation is x = -7.

Without an equality sign the given terms can't be considered to be an equation but in general when lines are parallel they have the same slope but different y intercepts.
The given expression is not an equation because it has no equality sign but for a line to be parallel to another line they both will have the same slope but with different y intercepts
Both straight line equations will have the same slope or gradient but the y intercepts wll be different
Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be an equation but in general parallel equations have the same slope but different y intercepts.
Coordinate geometry
Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be a straight line equation. But if you mean 4x+y = 10 then y = -4x+10 and the parallel equation is y = -4x+6
