Oy-x

Answer 1

First choice, y = -2x+6

Explanation:

Convert the original equation to slope-intercept form, where y = mx + b.
We are looking for a parallel line so keep x, y, and the slope. turn the 7 into an intercept variable. Plug in (2,2) for (x,y). Solve for b. b = 6. Rewrite the equation with the same slope and the new y-intercept.

y = -2x + 6
