what is the equation for a line that goes through (-2,1) and is parallel to y=-3x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay start by identifying what they have given you already in the question...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm.. the slope would be the same becuz its parallel. so the slope would be -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes exactly! They have also given you a point. You can use the point-slope form to solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be y2-y1/x2-x1? for the point slope formula?
