Question

Use the point-slope formula below to write an equation of a line passing

through (1, -3) that is parallel to the line y = –2x + 5. Make sure your
final answer is in slope-intercept (y=mx+b) form.

Answer 1

the line y = -2x-5 has a slope of -2 and parallel lines have the same slope

y + 3 = -2( x-1)

y + 3 = -2x + 2

answer: y = -2x -1

Answer 2

Explanation:

x intercepts = (5/2, 0)

y intercepts = (0,5)

slope = -2
