What is the equation of the line, in standard form, that passes through (4, -3) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x + y - 2 = 0?

4x - y = 13
4x + y = 13
4x + y = -13

I think it's B, but when I try to do the first equation with the numbers I get 11. Please help?!?!?!

anonymous · Answer

parallel  means has the same slpoe

anonymous · Answer

y2-y1=m(x2-x1)

anonymous · Answer

(x1,y1)    (4,-3)

anonymous · Answer

the answer is B why are you not sure?
the slope is the same you just have find the new intercept
y=-4(4)+c
-3=-4(4)+c
c=13

I wasn't sure because of the way the numbers changed, but now it makes sense. Thanks to both of ya'll!!
