Hi there Brook!

First, you need to find the slope of this linear line, because if two lines are parallel they have the same exact slope.

2y + 10x = -36  <-- Subtract 10x on both sides
2y = -10x - 36   <-- Divide everything by 2
y = -5x - 18  <-- Your re-organized linear equation, with the slope of -5.

Now that you know the slope is -5, but not the y-intercept since the line is different, look at the coordinate you have.  Since you know that an input of -1 makes an output of 4, you can create an equation:

4 = -5(-1) + b  <-- Four equals the slope times the input, plus the y-intercept
4 = 5 + b
b = -1, since 5 + (-1) = 4.

So, now your final equation is y = -5x -1

BROOO HELP what is the slope of the line through (-3,3) and (-1,-1)?
lesya [120]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope between any two points, we can use the slope formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two, separate points.

We have the two points (-3, 3) and (-1, -1).

So, let (-3, 3) be (x₁, y₁) and let (-1, -1) be (x₂, y₂).

Substitute them into the slope formula to get:

m=\frac{-1-3}{-1-(-3)}

Subtract:

m=\frac{-4}{2}=-2

Hence, our slope is -2.

So, our answer is C.
