1. Write the equation of a line parallel to y = -2x + 10 that passes through point (2, 4).

y - 4= -2(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(This answer is in point slope form, if you need the answer in a different form like slope intercept, you would have to distribute the negative 2 and bring the negative 4 to the right side.)

So, you know the line is parallel to the equation y= -2x + 10. We know that parallel lines must have the same slope, so the answer will have a slope of negative 2. Because they have given you a point that the line passes through, we are going to put the answer in point slope form. we know a point and we know the slope, hence it is called point-slope.

Point slope form is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁). The m stands for the slope, and the x₁ and y₁ is where you will plug in the x and y coordinates (2,4) .

So to plug in the numbers into point slope form it would be y - 4 = -2 (x - 2). hope this helped :)
