Answer:

The answer to your question is y = x - 5

Explanation:

Data

Point = (4, -1)

line ║ to y = x - 1

Process

1.- Find the slope. The slope is the coefficient of the x.

y = 1x - 1

slope = m = 1

2.- Identify the values x1 and y1

x1 = 4 y1 = -1

3.- Find the equation of the line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

-Substitution

y + 1 = 1(x - 4)

-Solve for y

y + 1 = x - 4

y = x - 4 - 1

-Result

y = x - 5
