Write an equation of the
line that passes through
(1, -4) and is parallel to
y=-3x + 5.

y = -3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have same slope.

slope = m = -3

(1 , -4)

y = mx + b

Plugin x = 1 and y = -4

-4 = (-3) *1 + b

-4 = -3 + b

-4 + 3 = b

b = -1

Equation: y = -3x - 1

lol.

it's ok we all do this sometimes.

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
