Answer:
Explanation:
Going from (1, -2) to (3,6), x increases by 2 and y increases by 8. Thus, the slope m of this line is m = rise / run = 8/2 = 4.
I think you meant, "What is the EQUATION of the line that passes through the point (-1, 1) and is parallel to a line that passes through
(3, 6) and (1, -2)? We have seen that this slope is -4.
Starting with the point-slope equation of a line, we have:
y - 6 = -4(x - 3)
