Find the equation for the line that passes through the point

Find the equation for the line that passes through the point (-4, 1), and that is parallel to the line with the equationy = -2.

Solution

Soluton:

The equation of the line which is prallele to y=-2 is y=k

since it passes through the point (-4,1) then 1=k

therfore, the equation of the line is y=1.
