Are the students correct? Explain.

A
Trish is the only student who is correct; the slope should be –1, and the line passes through (4, 2).
B
Demetri is the only student who is correct; the slope should be –1, and the y-intercept is 6.
C
Both students are correct; the slope should be –1, passing through (4, 2) with a y-intercept of 6.
D
Neither student is correct; the slope of the parallel line should be 1.
