Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -x -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line you want is the same as the slope of the line you have: -1. Then the point-slope equation of the line is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line of slope m through point (h, k)

  y -(-7) = -1(x -(-5))

  y = -x -5 -7 . . . . subtract 7, eliminate parentheses

  y = -x -12 . . . slope-intercept equation
