Question

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

Answer 1

First, find the slope. parallel means same slope. y = -2x - 5 ..... m = -2

Next, input the slope and point into the point-slope formula:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) ; where "m" is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point

y - 2 = -2(x - 1)

y - 2 = -2x + 2

y = -2x + 4
