Answer:
y = -2x - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form of equation is of form
y = mx+c
where m is the slope of line and c is the y intercept of the line.
Y intercept is point on y axis where the line intersects the y axis.
_____________________________
Given equation
y = -2x +4
comparing it with y = mx+ c
m = -2 , c = 4
_____________________________
when two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal.
Let the equation of new line in slope intercept form be y = mx + c
Thus slope of of new required line is -2
Thus m for new line is -2.
now, equation of required line : y = -2x+c
Given that this line passes through (-4, -2). This point shall should satisfy equation y = -2x+c.
Substituting the value of (-4, -2) we have
-2 = -2(-4)+c
=> -2 = 8 +c
=> -2 -8 = c
=> c = -10.
Thus , equation of required line is y = -2x - 10.
