Answer: y = -3x -7 or 3x + y = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
For two lines to be the same, they need to have the same slopes but different y-intercepts. First convert the equation 3x+y =5 into slope intercept form.
3x + y = 5 subtract 3x from both sides
-3x -3x
y = -3x + 5 in this case we know that the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 5.
Now since they will have the same slope input the x and y coordinates and find the equation that will be parallel to it.
-4 = -3(-1) + b
-4 = 3 +b
-3 -3
b= -7
Since the y intercept is -7 the equation will be y = -3x -7 or 3x + y = -7
