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

Question

anonymous · Answer

find slope of y=-x+6
then because these lines are parallel , the other line will also have same slope
use y-y1=m(x-x1) to find desired equation

its a timed test help please :0

anonymous · Answer

Parallel lines have the same slope and you have a point. So you can use the point-slope form and change it into slope-intercept.
(–4, 2)
y - 2 = 1(x -(-4))
y - 2 = 1x + 4
y = 1x + 6

Hope this helps! (:
