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

parallel lines have the same slope
given slope, m is -1
you have the point (-3, 1) let this be (x1, y1)
point slope formula (y - y1) = m(x- x1)
plug your numbers and simplify
put in the form y = mx + b to match with ans choices
