Help!!!!!!!. Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (4, -6) and is parallel to y = -
x + 5.
y = -2x + 2
y = 2x - 14
y = x - 8
y = -x - 4

Is it y=-x-4

Hint:  If two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal.  I see only one answer choice that satisfies that.

The correct answer is not one of those choices :)

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (4, -6) and is parallel to y = -x + 5.

The slope is -1, and the given point is (4,-6).  substituting these values into the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line, we get y-(-6)=-1(x-4).  Try simplifying that.
