Hi

line that passes through (-4, 0) and is parallel to y= -2x+1

 



y= -2x+1   |slope m = -2.  Parallel lines have identical slopes  

New Line: m = -1/3   |Note: 3*-1/3 = -1

 y = -2x + b   |using ordered pair Pt(-4,0) to solve for b

 0 = 8 + b

 -8 = b 

 y = -2x -8  |written in slope-intercept form
