What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is
parallel to the given line and passes through the point (4, 1)?
y-1=-2(x - 4)
y-1=-{(x-4)
oy-1= (x-4)
y-1 = 2(x - 4)

The Answer is : D

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line that the equation should be parallel to. In this case it is 2/1 which simplified is 2.

Next insert the X (4) of the point (4,1) and solve to see if you get the Y(1).

y-1 = 2 (4-4)

y-1= 2 (0)

y-1= 0

y= 1

In this case D is correct.

TIP*

If you see the question ask you about a parallel formula, look at the slopes of them to see if they match up. Parallel formulas have the same slope, just a tip because you can see in the answer choices none of the equations have the same slope as the line on the graph except for D.
