How do i write an equation of a line that passes through (1,-1) and is parallel to the line that passes through (4,1) and (2,-3)

Answer 1

(4,1) and (2,-3) have a line through them with slope = (1+3)/(4-2) = 4/2 = 2

parallel lines have the same slope

-1=2(1) + b is a parallel line through (1,-1)

where b= -1-2 = -3

y = 2x -3 is the parallel line through the given point
