Question

Question 5 Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the equation (-4, 2); y = -x+6​

Answer 1

Explanation:

If it is parallel to the line y = -x + 6, they have the same gradient and the gradient is the coefficient of x which is -1.

We use the equation y=mx+c

Y is 2

M is -1

X is -4

2 = (-1×-4) + c

2 = 4 + c

C = 2 - 4 = -2

Y = -x -2
