Answer:

y = 2x - 7

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 2x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (3, - 1 ) into the partial equation

- 1 = 2(3) + c = 6 + c ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 7 = c

y = 2x - 7 ← equation of parallel line
