Question

8. Math on the Spot Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes

through (5, -6) and is parallel to the line described by y = -x+ 3.

Answer 1

Answer: y=-x-1

Explanation:

To find the answer, 5 and -6 have to be substituted in the place of x in the equation y = -x + b(The slope has to be the same because the line is parallel). -6 = -5 + b, b = -1. This means that the equation is y = -x - 1.
