Question 762277: The equation of a line that goes through the point (-1, 2) and is parallel to x-y=1 is?

Anything parallel to x-y = 1 is of the form x-y = C where C is some fixed number.

x - y = C

(-1) - (2) = C .. plug in x = -1 and y = 2 (from the point (-1,2))

-1 - 2 = C

-3 = C

C = -3

So the answer in standard form is x - y = -3
