Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = -x + 3 and contains the point (4,1).

Question

just looking for assistance figuring problems such as this one out thank you ! 

Answer 1

Use the point-slope form of a line.

 

y = mx - mx₁ + y₁

 

where:

m = -1   ----->  parallel lines have same slope

(x₁ , y₁) = (4, 1)
