Question

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

aroub · Answer

parallel=same slope 

y=mx+b , m=-1 , (-4,2)
2=-1(-4)+b
2=4+b
-2=b

so, y=-x-2
