parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of the line is -2
\n" ); document.write( "point slope formula--y-y1=m(x-x1), m slope, (x1, y1) point
\n" ); document.write( "y+3=-2(x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2x-5
\n" ); document.write( "graph of the line with the other line using b=+1, crossing y-axis at (0, 1)
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-2x%2B1%2C-2x-5%29\"
