Question

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

Answer 1

parallel lines have same slope

Answer 2

so slope of the required line will be -1 too
and the eqn will be:
y-2=-1(x+4)

Answer 3

And then I have to simplify that? to y-2=-1x+-4 but I dont know if it stays positive or it changes to negative?

Answer 4

yes, it will be
y-2=-x-4
y=-x-2
