Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-3, 1) and parallel to y = -x - 4.

y = x + 2

y = -x - 2

y = -x + 4

y = x - 4

Answer 1

hint: your answer will have a slope of -1 since y = -x-4 has a slope of -1

parallel lines have the same slope

Answer 2

@jim_thompson5910 so would it be B? :O

Answer 3

yep

Answer 4

y = -x - 2

1 = -(-3) - 2... plug in (-3,1)

1 = 3 - 2

1 = 1

So this shows that (-3, 1) is on the line y = -x-2

Answer 5

thanks Jim :D
