Acity planner is rerouting traffic in order to work on a stretch of road. the equation of the path of the old route can be described as y=2/5x-4. what should the equation of the new route be if it is to be parallel to the old route and will go through point (q, p)

5050 i think

step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
