Answer:

y = -x + 7

Explanation:

Given equation: x + y = 3

x + y = 3

y = -x + 3

Comparing it to y = mx + c where m is slope and c is the y intercept.

  • Here the slope is -1 and y-intercept 3.

Parallel Lines have the same slope so slope that passes (-1,8) will be -1.

Equation: provided (x1, y1) = (-1, 8) and slope = -1

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = -1(x - (-1))

y - 8 = -1(x + 1)

y - 8 = -x -1

y = -x - 1 + 8

y = -x + 7
