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

y = -x+4
any line parallel to this should be
y= -x+c

where c is a constant

it passes through -3,1
so putting x=-3 and y=1

we get, 1=3+c
c=1-3 = -2

so the line is y=-x-2
which is the 2nd option

Answer 2
