Question

The equation of line r is y + 1 = -(x +5). Line s is parallel to line r and passes through

(-10, 3). What is the equation of lines?

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers.

Answer 1

The slope intercept form of the line is y = -x - 7

Explanation:

In order to find this, we start by noting that the slope will be -1. This is because parallel lines have the same slope. Now that we know this, we can use that and the point in point-slope form to get the equation. Then we can solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = -(x - -10)

y - 3 = -(x + 10)

y - 3 = -x - 10

y = -x - 7
