1.y=-3x-6;(-1,5) Write the equation of a line parallel to the given line but passing through the given point.
\n" ); document.write( "Slope of the given equation is -3, so the parallel line has slope = -3.
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Form: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\":
\n" ); document.write( "5 = -3*-1 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "================\r
