Step-by-step explanation:
The equation in the problem is in slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:
y
=
m
x
+
b
Where
m
is the slope and
b
is the y-intercept value.
y
=
−
1
x
+
3
Therefore, the slope of this line is:
−
1
The slope of parallel lines. Therefore, the slope of the line we are looking for is also
−
1
. We can substitute this into the slope-intercept formula giving:
y
=
−
1
x
b
Next, we can substitute the values from the point in the problem for
x
and
y
and solve for
b
:
