Parallel to y=-2x+4 and goes through point (-4,-5)?

Question

write the equation of the line, show the formula used(F) , the substitution of numbers(W) and final answer.

Answer 1

Parallel lines have the same slope.  Your linear equation is in slope intercept form ( y = mx + b), so the slope is -2.

The equation for the new line is...

y = -2x + b

Plug in the point given to find the constant b.

-5 = -2(-4) + b

-5 = 8 + b

-13 = b

So the final equation is

y = -2x -13
