Question

Through (-3, 2) parallel to y = -2x-1

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - 2x - 4

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 = - 2x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, 2 ) into the partial equation

2 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 6 = - 4

y = - 2x - 4 ← equation of parallel line
