Question 1027643
PARALLEL							
							
							
1    	x	+	1	y  	=	3	
Find the slope of this line							
make y the subject							
1	y  	=	-1    	x	+	3	
Divide by	1						
	y  	=	-1    	x	+	3    	
Compare this equation with y=mx+b							
slope m =	-1    						
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same							
The slope of the required line will be			-1    				
m=	-1    	,point	(	1	,	-4	)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in							
y=mx+b							
-4	=	-1      	+	b			
b=	-3						
m=	-1    						
Plug value of  the slope  and b					in y = mx +b		
The required equation is		y  	=	-    	x		-3
