Question 538566
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.<P>
The slope of the given line is -2.<P>
The slopes of parallel lines are the same.<P>
So far that makes the line wanted y=-2x+b.<P>
To find the b, substitute the given point into the line.  If the point is on the line, then the x and y value of the point work in it's equation, and can be used to find b.<P>
1=2(0)+b<P>
b=1<P>
The equation of this new line is y=-2x+1.
