Answer:
y = x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope, so the line will also have a slope of 1.
Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b to solve for b:
y = mx + b
-1 = 1(1) + b
-1 = 1 + b
-2 = b
Plug in b and the slope into y = mx + b
y = x - 2 is the equation
The way to do this mathematically is by incorporating the Order of Operations.(Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally) This stands for (do first:) Parenthesis, then exponents, after that multiplication, now division, then addition, and finally subtraction. The side on the right then equals -5 while the side on the right equals -6. The greater value is the left side. If you have any other questions, just ask me!
