Answer

y=-4x+11

Work Step by Step

You have (3,-1) parallel to y=-4x+1.Since the lines are parallel, they have the same slope (-4). Plug in (3,-1) and the slope (4) into y=mx+b to find the y-intercept: y=mx+b -1=-4(3)+b -1=-12+b 11=b The slope is -4 and the y-intercept is 11. So the equation is y=-4x+11
