Question

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=-5x+6 and passes through the point (-4,-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-5x-21

Step-by-step explanation:

So the slope will be the same, rewrite the equation with the same slope and substitute in the coordinates. Then, solve for b.

y=mx+b

-1=-5(-4)+b

-1=20+b Subtract 20 from each side

-21=b

The equation is y=-5x-21
