y=-4x+3
y=-4x-9
y=-4x+12
y=-4x-45
y=-4x-5 are all parallel lines

how did you come up with those answers?
Reiny
don't have all parallel lines have the same slope?
and did I not keep the slope of all my examples as -4?
remember that in y = mx + b, the slope is m.
so changing the last number b has no effect on the slope, it simply translates the line either up or down parallel to itself.
