Answer:

Your answer would be x + y = 1

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

In this scenario, we know that the line of CD passes through the coordinates (0,1), and would also be parallel to the equation x + y = 3.

When two lines are parallel, that means that their slopes are equal.

The slope of the line must be:


x + y = 3

Move the x to the other side by subtracting


y= -x + 3

The slope for the equation would be -1, since there is a invisible one after the equal sign. When there's no other number there, it would be 1.

The slope of the line CD would be -1.

Now, we would need to plug in -1 into the equation, to find the standard form.


(y - 1) = m(x - 0)\\\\(y-1)=-1(x)\\\\x+y=1


x + y = 1 should be your FINAL answer.
