Question

A geometry class is asked to find the equation of a line that is parallel to y – 3 = −(x + 1) and passes through (4, 2). Trish states that the parallel line is y – 2 = –1(x – 4). Demetri states that the parallel line is y = –x + 6.

Answer 1

Step 1:
Put all equations in same- slope-intercept form.
Step 2
Verify if the lines have same slope but different y-intercepts to confirm they are parallel.
Note, the slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is a slope, b is a y-intercept.
