What is the y−intercept of the line that passes through the point (4,9)and is parallel to the line y=12x+2?

y- intercept = - 39

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 12x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 12

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = mx + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, 9) into the partial equation

9 = 48 + c ⇒ c = 9 - 48 = - 39 ← y- intercept
