Question 442876: Rene needs to determine the equation of a line passing through the point
(�1, 7) that is parallel to y = �3x � 4. Which equation best represents Rene's equation?

Answer by swincher4391(1107) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope of the line -3x-4 is -3.
Lines that are parallel have the same slope.
So the line parallel has slope -3 as well.
When you have a point and a slope, you use POINT-SLOPE form.
