Question

Through: ( -1,5), parallel to y=-2x+1

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel Lines:

Parallel lines are lines with the same slope (m), but a different y - intercept (b).

The basic equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m represents slope, and b represents the y - intercept

Solving for the Line:

First solve for the parallel slope of -2

Parallel slope to -2 = -2

Next, input the x and y values given to you by the point to the equation

y = -2x + b

We will input the -1 and 5 for x and y in the equation y = -2x + b

5 = -2(-1) + b

5 = 2 + b

b = 3

The line is y = -2x + 3
