Answer:
y=-1/3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, lets outline that parallel lines have the <u>Same Slope</u>. So we can plug in -1/3 as our slope, or m.
Lets plug in -1/3 as our slope in Point Slope form to find the y intercept. Point slope form should be attached in an image below.
1) Plug slope and points into point slope form:
y+1=-1/3(x+3)
2) Distribute -1/3 to x and 3:
y+1=-1/3x-1
3) Subtract 1 from both sides:
y=-1/3x-2
Now we have our answer is slope intercept form!
