What's the slope of y = -x+3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So the slope of this new parallel line will also be -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We know our slope has to be similar to to the original formula, since the lines are parallel. So, we take such to be the slope of -1. By this, we use point slope formula to find that: \[(y-1)=-1(x-1)\]Which is our answer.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y = mx+b y = -1x + b 1 = -1(7) + b Now solve for b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, yeah, that, too.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

either way works, so pick any option you want

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

keep in mind the point is (7,1) lolwolf, so it should be y -1 = -1(x-7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pellete, yeah, that's what I get for typing fast, but, yes.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

b = 8 is correct, so the equation is y = -x+8
