Question

Determine the correct equation for the line passing through the point (12, –4) and parallel to the line x + 4y = 16.

Answer 1

What thing have the parallel lines the same in their equations?

Answer 2

slope m1 = m2?

Answer 3

yes, so what is that slope?

Answer 4

-1/4?

Answer 5

yes, so your equation will look like this:
y=-1/4x+b, you know the point that line passes through so you should be able to find b
