Write an equation in Slope Intercept form parallel to y = 2x + 3 and passing through the point (5,-4)

Slope intercept form is this:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
We are given the point of (5, -4) and the equation y = 2x + 3
Our needed equation is parallel to the give equation, meaning it has the same slope which is 2
Plug in the slope which is 2x and the x1 and y1 values given.

y - (-4) = 2(x - 5)

Then, simplify the equation to receive our answer.
y + 4 = 2x -10
y = 2x - 14

y = 2x - 14 is our answer.

If there are four friends then each would get, 1.25 or 1 1/4. so this is how i solved 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25 . hope this ; )
