Answer:
y = - x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - x + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form
with m = - 1
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (2, - 1) into the partial equation
- 1 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = - 1 + 2 = 1
y = - x + 1 ← equation of line
