What is the equation of the line described below written in slope-intercept form?
\n" ); document.write( "the line passing through point (-1, 5) and parallel to the line whose equation is x + y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "standard form of equation for a line in slope intercept form: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "given line
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=10
\n" ); document.write( "y=-x+10
\n" ); document.write( "slope, m=-1
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "slope of parallel line=-1
\n" ); document.write( "equation: y=-x+b
\n" ); document.write( "solve for b using coordinates (-1,5) of given point on the line.
\n" ); document.write( "5=-(-1)+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=4
\n" ); document.write( "equation: y=-x+4\r
