Question

What is the equation of the line: * parallel to the line y = -¼x + 5 and * passing through the point (2, -1)

y = -¼x + 4
y = ¼x + 2
y = ¼x - 1
y = -¼x - 1/2

Answer 1

you have a point (2,-1) and a slope -1/4, so use the point-slope form:
y+1 = -1/4 (x-2)
now just rearrange things as needed.

Answer 2

thank you!
