Write the equation of line in slope-intercept form, which is parallel to y=−2x+5 and passing through the point (1, −4)
What would Y = ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = -2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x+5

This is in slope intercept form so y = mx+b where m is the slope

The slope is -2

Parallel lines have the same slope so the new line has a slope of -2

y= -2x+b

We have a point on the line of (1,-4)

-4 = -2(1)+b

-4 = -2+b

Add 2 to each side

-4+2 = -2+b+2

-2 =b

y = -2x-2
