Write an equation for the line through the point (−4,−2) and parallel to the line y=8x−3 in point-slope form y=y0+m(x−x0)

If a line is parallel to another it means they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. This means the slope of the line we are trying to find is 8. We are also given a point that is on our line, so we are ready to use your variation of point-slope form.

y = -2 + 8(x--4) Cancel the double negative.
y = -2 + 8(x+4) Final Answer
