Quick comprehension check
“Write the equation of a line that is parallel to the line y = 4x - 3 and passes through the point (2, 5). Provide your answer in slope-intercept form. Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = -3x + 2 and passes through the point (1, -1). Provide your answer in slope-intercept form.”
