When in the form , m is the slope
For , b = 0, and m = 1
a) A parallel line would have the same slope
as the equation, m=1
b) The slope of a perrendicular line has slope=

c) By the point-slope formula,

check this
The slope is -1, as needed. does it go through (-2,-3)?

OK
Pick any value for x, then find y. Now
you have 2 points and can graph it by hand or computer
