Answer:

y=-2x-2

Explanation:

Parallel means the same slope from the given slope in the statement.

To find the slope-intercept form equation, you must use the point-slope form which is y-y1=m(x-x1).

The given point (0, -1) includes 0 as the x-intercept and -1 as the y-intercept.

Because parallel is the same slope, the slope we'll insert into our equation is -2.

The point-slope form substituted with the given point and slope looks like the following:

y-(-1)=-2(x-0) which can be simplified to y+2=-2x+0

Solve the simplified equation.

y+2=-2x+0

-2 -2

y=-2x-2

That's the final equation.

Hope this helps.
