Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (-1, 3) and is parallel to the line y = -x + 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x + 1......same as y = -1x + 1.....in y = mx + b form, ur slope is in the m position....so the slope of this line is -1.

a parallel line will have the same slope.

(-1,3)...x = -1 and y = 3

slope(m) = -1

y = mx + b.....we have x,y, and m....now we need to find y int (b)

3 = -1(-1) + b

3 = 1 + b

3 - 1 = b

2 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = -1x + 2...or just y = -x + 2
