Question

A geometry class is asked to find the equation of a line that is parallel to y – 3 = −(x + 1) and passes through (4, 2). Trish states that the parallel line is y – 2 = –1(x – 4). Demetri states that the parallel line is y = –x + 6.

Answer 1

Answer
Y=-x+6
Explanation

Answer 2

Demetri is correct, y = -x + 6

Explanation:

y - 3 = -(x + 1)

y = -x + 2, the slope is -1

y = mx + b

2 = -1(4) + b

b = 6

y = -x + 6
