An equation of a line through a point P(x1 , y1) with slope m is given by
\n" ); document.write( "y-y1=m(x-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "Point (1,-4), then x1=1 and y1=-4
\n" ); document.write( "If the line is parallel to the line whose equation is y=4x+10, then their slopes are equal, so m=4
\n" ); document.write( "y-(-4)=4(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "y+4=4x-4
\n" ); document.write( "y=4x-8 the equation of a line \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
