y = -1 x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 1
\n" ); document.write( " y = -1 x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = -1
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be -1
\n" ); document.write( "m= -1 ,point ( -2 , -2 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = 2 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -4
\n" ); document.write( "m= -1
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = -1 x -4
\n" ); document.write( "
