Question 778770
write the equation of a line parallel to the given line but passing through the given point. Show work
y=-x+3 ; (-2,-2)
-------
The given equation has slope = -1
So every line parallel to it has slope = -1
-------
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "b":
-2 = -1*-2 + b
b = -4
---------
Equation:
y = -x -4
