Question

Write the equation of the line which passes through (–4, 2) and is parallel to y = –x + 6 in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

y=mx+b
(-4,2)
2=-(-4)+b
2=4+b
-4+2=b
-2=b
y=-x-2

Answer 2

since the line is parallel, the slope would be the same i.e. '-1'. so the eqn would be :
(y-2)/(x-(-4))=-1
