What is the equation of the line in standard form that passes through the point (3, –2) and is parallel to the line y = –4x + 1?

x + 4y = 10

x – 4y = –10

4x – y = –10

4x + y = 10

Since it is parallel to the line y=-4x+1, it will have the same slope as that line.

Do you know what the value of the slope is for the line Y=-4x+1?

the standard for is:Ay+Bx+c=0 
to get to this u must develope this one: y-y1=m(x-x1) can u move from here?

I figured it out now. thanks for the help though.
