You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of the line below in slope-intercept form and standard form: Is parallel to y=x+2 and passes through the point (1,-4)
 ----------------
 Parallel means it has the same slope.  The eqn is in slope-intercept form,
 y = mx + b, so the slope of y=x+2 is +1.
 ------------
 Then,
 y-y1 = m*(x-x1)
 y-(-4) = 1*(x - 1)
 y+4 = x-1
 y = x - 5  Slope-intercept form,
 x - y = 5  Standard form
