Lines that are parallel to each other has the SAME slope.
The slope of y = -6x + 5 is -6 (the number before x)
Okay so now you have the slope, what’s next?
If you have to write it in point slope form the equation will be y - 4 = -6 ( x - 4 )
If you have to write it in slope intercept form, first you have the find b ( the y intercept)
To find be, replace the “y” and “x” into 4
And “m” into -6
4 = 6(4) + b (solve for b)
4 = 24 + b
-24 -24
-20 = b
Now that you have the slope and the y - intercept, the equation will be
y = -6x - 20 !
