Question 1160336
.
<pre>

The line parallel to y = x+4  has the form  y = x + c,  where "c" is  some constant.


We find the value of "c" by substituting the coordinates of the given point (3,-1) into the equation

    -1 = 3 + c,


which gives  c = -1 - 3 = -4.


So, the equation of the requested line is  

    y = x -4.      <U>ANSWER</U>
