Question

What is the equation of the line (in point-slope form) that is parallel to y+2=−7(x+3) and passes through the point (1,4)?

Answer 1

Answer:

  y−4=−7(x−1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

  y -k = m(x -h)

Your given line has a slope of -7. The parallel line will have the same slope.

So, you want to fill in the above form with m=-7, (h, k) = (1, 4):

  y -4 = -7(x -1)
