Step-by-step explanation:
slope interception formula is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
where m is m=y-y1/x-x1 in this case m=-2 because the line we are trying to find is parallel to the given one y=-2x-6 where slope k=-2
so the final equation would be
y-1=-2(x-(-4))
y-1=-2x-2*4
y=-2x-8+1=-2x-7
The reason why the far eastern diplomat was at the north pole was : he got disoriented To travel in the past, people in the past rely on stars and compass. But due to electromagnetic phenomenon, the compass tend to not functioning properly and make it really difficult to actually find out the correct path
