Find an equation of a line passing through (-1,0) and parallel to the line whose equation is given by x-y=1.
First find the slope of the line you've been given by putting it in slope intercept form:, where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept.

The coeffiecient of x is understood to be 1. m=1
Parallel lines have the same slope, so our line has a slope of m=1 and goes through (x1,y1)=(-1,0).
We need the point slope formula:
