Answer: The line parallel to y = -2x + 5 that passes through the point(1,1)
Has the same slope, m but a different y intercept (0,b)
So lets start by using the given point (1, 1) and the slope intercept form of the line to calculate b
y = mx + b
m = -2
1 = -2(1) + b
1 = -2 + b
Add 2 to both sides of the equation to solve for b
1 + 2 = b
3 = b
The line is
y = -2x + 3
