Question

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = -5/4x+ + 7 and that passes through the point (-4,1).

Answer 1

Answer: y- 1 = -5/4(x+4)\\

Explanation:

y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and in the equation, the slope is -5/4.

For two-line that are parallel, the slope is the same, -5/4.

`y - y_(1)= m( x - x_(1))\\y- 1 = -5/4(x-(-4))\\y- 1 = -5/4(x+4)\\`
