What is an equation of the the line that passes through the point (-1,4) and is parallel to the line x+y=4 This is so important!! Ive tried everything

y = -x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation is parallel to the line

y + x = 4

y = 4 - x

parallel means the same slope. So our new equation has a slope of -1

Now, the equation of a line is given by y = mx + b where m is the slope.

y = -x + b

now we plug in the points given in the question to find b.

4 = 1 + b

b = 3

so the final answer is y = -x +3
