Are the students correct? Explain. A geometry class is asked to find the equation of a line
that is parallel to y - 3 = -(x + 1) and passes through (4,
2). Trish states that the parallel line is y-2=-1(x – 4).
Demetri states that the parallel line is y=-x+6.
Trish is the only student who is correct; the slope
should be -1, and the line passes through (4,2).
Demetri is the only student who is correct; the slope
should be -1, and the y-intercept is 6.
Both students are correct; the slope should be -1,
passing through (4, 2) with a y-intercept of 6.
Neither student is correct; the slope of the parallel
line should be 1.
