Question

Write an equation of the

line that passes through
(1, -4) and is parallel to
y=-3x + 5.

Answer 1

y = -3x - 1

Explanation:

Parallel lines have same slope.

slope = m = -3

(1 , -4)

y = mx + b

Plugin x = 1 and y = -4

-4 = (-3) *1 + b

-4 = -3 + b

-4 + 3 = b

b = -1

Equation: y = -3x - 1
