Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, 5) and is parallel to the line y = -3x + 5?

y=-x3+143
y=3x+8
y=-3x+2
y=x3+163

Answer 1

I have completed it also

Explanation:

what the person ontop of me said it correct

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Lines which are parallel have equal gradients.
• The gradient of the given straight line
• is -3 meaning that the gradient of the new equation will be -3
• now we have y=-3x +c following the general equation of a straightline.
• Substituting the given point we have
• 
  `5 = -3( - 1) + c \\ c = 5 - 3 \\ c = 2 \\ the \: new \: equation \: will \: then \: be \: y = - 3x + 2`
