Write an equation that goes through the point (-4, 6) and is parallel to y=-3x+4

In order for two lines to be parallel, they have to have the same slope (m) so we already know that the question is: y= -3x + b

In order to find b, we need to plug in the coordinate (-4,6) into the x and y and solve.

6= -3(-4) + b
6= 12 + b
-6 = b

This then means that the equation is y= -3x-6
