Question

Write an equation
parallel to y = -2x - 5
with a y-intercept of
6

Answer 1

y=-2x+6

Explanation:

When it comes to parallel lines the slopes are the same they just have different y-intercepts.

Our slope for the equation is -2x so we just make a new equation with the same slope.

Since we are asked to put it with a y-intercept of 6 we just add +6 at the end.

Giving us y=-2x+6.
