The equation of a line in point-slope form is.
| 2 2 y - y 1 = m ( x - x 1 ) 2 2 | ̲ ¯
where m represents the slope and ( x 1 , y 1 ) a point on the line
require to know the following fact.
| 2 2 parallel lines have equal slopes 2 2 | ̲ ¯
y = - 1 2 x - 1 is in slope-intercept form, that is
y = m x + b slope = m = - 1 2
using m = - 1 2 and ( x 1 , y 1 ) = ( - 4 , 1 )
y - 1 = - 1 2 ( x - ( - 4 ) )
y - 1 = - 1 2 ( x + 4 ) in point-slope form
