Question

What will be the equation of a line that is

parallel to y=-X+6 and passes through the
point (-3,1)

Answer 1

y=x+4

Explanation:

Solve with the point-slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1). The line is parallel; both slopes are equivalent. Plug in the coordinates we have into the formula, along with the slope from the original equation (-1). To check, we can plug the coordinates back into the equation.

y-(1)=-1(x+3)

y-1=x+3

y=x+4

Check:

(1)=(-3)+4

1=1
