Parallel to y - 3 = - (x + 1) and passes through (4, 2). Trish states that the parallel line is y - 2 = - 1 (x - 4). Demetri states that the parallel line is y = - x + 6. Are the students correct? Explain.

Trish is the only student who is correct; the slope should be - 1, and the line passes through (4, 2).

Demetri is the only student who is correct; the slope should be - 1, and the y-intercept is 6.

Both students are correct; the slope should be - 1, passing through (4, 2) with a y-intercept of 6.

Neither student is correct; the slope of the parallel line should be 1.
