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

A is parallel to the line below (same slope)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 - -5)/(-4 - 2) = 6/-6 = -1

y = mx + b

1 = -1(-4) + b

-3 = b

y = -x -3

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
