Answer:
see explanation
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 + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = -
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation of the line
To find c substitute (6, 3) into the partial equation
3 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 + 4 = 7
y = - x + 7 ← equation of line
