Question

Through: (-2,2), parallel to y=-x-5

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that parallel means the two lines have the same slope, so in this case the slope is -1.

Using our y = mx + b equation, we have

y = -x + b

Plug in our -2 and 2 into the equation

2 = - (-2) + b

2 = 2 + b

0 = b

Put in the b

y = -x + 0

y = -x

Answer 2

Answer:

y = -x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that parallel means the two lines have the same slope, so in this case the slope is -1.

Using our y = mx + b equation, we have

y = -x + b

Plug in our -2 and 2 into the equation

2 = - (-2) + b

2 = 2 + b

0 = b

Put in the b

y = -x + 0
