Which line is parallel to the line that passes through the points (-1, 2) and (5, -4)?

Nice!  Now, the slope of the line joining points (-1, 2) and (5, -4) is



Look at each answer choice and pick out the one that has a slope of -1.

a. y = -x + 1 The coefficient of x is -1, so that's the answer you want.
b. y = -1/3x - 4 The coefficient of x is -1/3; the slope is -1/3.  Nope.

etc.

Ifound this on google “that means that the graph of a function with direct variation has these features: it is a straight line: because the slope is the ratio y/x = k. it passes through the origin (0,0): because y = kx = k (0) = 0.” i hope this you for what your looking for
