Answer:

y = - x + 1

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

y = - x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 1

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

to find c substitute (3, - 2 ) into the partial equation

- 2 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 3 = 1

y = - x + 1 ← equation of parallel line
