Question

What is the equation of the line described below written in slope-intercept form?

the line passing through point (-1,5) and parallel to the line whose equation is x+y=10
y = x-4
y = x + 4
y = -x + 4

Answer 1

y= - x + 4

Explanation:

the two lines are parallel so the slope would be negative

Answer 2

y=-x+4

Explanation:

Since the two lines are parallel, the slope would be negative x and the y intercept is 4
