Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: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
