Question 390057: Find an equation for the line:
through (-4,6) and parallel to y= -3x + 4

The unknown should have equation of the form y = -3x + c because of the parallel condition.
Find the value of c by using the coordinates of the given point: 6 = -3*-4 + c, or 6 = 12 + c, or c = -6.
Therefore the equation of the line is y = -3x - 6.
