determine the equation of line that is parallel to y=-2x-2 and has the same y intercept as y=-x+5
.
First, determine the slope of y=-2x-2
since the equation is already in the "slope-intercept" form y=mx+b
We know that the slope we want to be parallel with is -2.
.
The y-intercept of y=-x+5
Again, it is already in y=mx+b form
So, we know the y-intercept 5
.
Recapping, our new line has:
m = -2
and
b = 5
.
Plugging the above into:
y = mx + b
our new equation is
y = -2x + 5
