Question

Fill in the missing parts of the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = -x + 4 and passes through the point (4, 0).

Answer 1

Explanation:

there some details missing from the question?

Parallel to y = -x + 4,

means equation we are looking for has the same slope as the equation.

The slope of the equation given is -1, so the slope of the equation we are trying to slope should have the same slope, -1

lets say the equation is y = -x + b

the equation should pass the point (4,0)

if you plug the numbers in,

0 = -4 + b. b = 4.

so the equation would be y = -x + 4

this is the same equation that was given from the question, which is confusing me.
