Question

Find equation for this problem

Answer 1

y = -1/3x - 13/3

Explanation:

Parallel lines always have the same slope. Thus, the slope of the second equation is -1/3.

We can find the y-intercept by plugging in our slope and (-1, 4) and solving for b:

`-4=-1/3(-1)+b\\-4=1/3+b\\-13/3=b`

Therefore, the equation of the second line is y = -1/3x - 13/3
