Question

Write the equation of the line parallel to the given line and passing through the given point. y=−2x−1 through (4,3)

Answer 1

if the lines are parallel the slopes are the same so the slope is -2

the equation for a line given a point and a slope is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-3= -2(x-4)

y-3 = -2x+8

y = -2x+11
