Question 854853: Write the slope-intercept form of an equation of the line that passes through (4,-6) and is parallel to y= -3/4x + 1 .
I thought the answer was y= -3/4x - 9 . The answer is actually y= -3/4x -3 . Could you please explain what I did wrong?
Thank you,
Isabella

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Use the point to solve for .
