On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, 3) and (negative 2, 1). A point is at (4, 1). 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 = Negative one-half(x – 4) y – 1 = One-half(x – 4) y − 1 = 2(x − 4)

The slope of the line passing  parallel to the given line and passes through the point (4, 1) is y = -2x + 9

The equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

The slope of the line passing through the points (-3,3) and  (-2,1) is:

Since both lines are parallel, hence they  have the same slope (-2). The line passes through (4,1). The equation is:

y - 1 = -2(x - 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope. Two sets of coordinates are (-3, 3), and (-2, 1).

(3 - 1) / (-3 - -2) = 2 / (-3 + 2) = 2 / (-1) = -2.

The line will be parallel to the given line, so the slope is the same.

Now that we have a point and the slope, we can construct an equation in point-slope form.

y1 = 1, x1 = 4, and m = -2.

y - 1 = -2(x - 4).

Hope this helps!
