Get it into the slope-intercept form

This is in the form , where
= slope
= y-intercept
--------------------

Any line parallel to the given line will also
have slope =
----------------------
The line passes through ( -4, -1 )
Use the general point-slope formula:

Multiply both sides by

answer
---------------------------
check:
Does this line go through ( -4, -1 ) ?

OK
