Answer:

y = x - 3

Explanation:

Basically, if the lines are parallel, they have the same slope, right? So that part is already complete

And to get the rest of the equation, plug in the points -2 and 1 into the equation for the x values. Then set the equation to solve for b

After you do that you should get b = -3

The slope is 1 and the y-int is -3

Thank me later ;)
