Write the equation of a linear function, in general form, that is PARALLEL to the line 1 y= -x=3 4 and passes through the point (-1,8)

Answer 1

parallel to y=-x +3/4 has slope =-1

slope = the coefficient of the x term when the linear equation is solved for y

through the Point (-1,8)

8 = -(-1) + b

b = 8-1 = 7

the parallel line's equation is

y = -x + 7
