Question

Write an equation of the line that is parallel to -x + y = 5 and passes through the point (2, -5).

Answer 1

the slope of the parallel line is m = -1

the slope intercept form of the line is

y = mx + b

you have x = 2, y = -5 and m = -1

substitute and find b, then you'll get the equation of the line

Answer 2

oooo oh ok thank you campbell

Answer 3

oops... the slope is m = 1

the slope intercept form of the given line is y = x + 5

so m = 1

sorry for the typo...

Answer 4

alright and why wouldnt it be x - 3

Answer 5

well

-5 = 1*2 + b

b = -7

so

y = x - 7

that should be the answer

Answer 6

ok thanks
