Question

What is the equation of the line passing through (1, 7) and parallel to the line y = –x + 5 in standard form?

Answer 1

plz someone help me

Answer 2

two parallel lines have same slope. therefore, the slope of the required equation is -1.

Answer 3

then use point slope form of an equation of a line.

Answer 4

y-7=-1(x-1)
y-7=-x+1
y=-x+8
x+y-8=0

Answer 5

x+y-8=0 is the standard form of the equation
