Parallel to the graph of:
Put this equation in slope-intercept form

The slope is because the general form is
where = slope
Any line parallel to this line will also have slope =
--------------
The new equation must pass through (1,-4)
Since the general form is
and I know , I can write

The way to find is to plug in the x and y of (1,-4)

Now I can write the equation
