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

i think u can solve it right now

Answer 2

ok let me try.....

Answer 3

the slope would be negative 1 right.

Answer 4

yes. bravo now write equation

Answer 5

Since you know the slope you need is -1, you can write this much in the slope-intercept form:

\(y = mx + b\)

\(y = -x + b\)

Now all you need to do is find b.
To do that, use the given point in the second equation above, and solve for b.
