Answer: y + 1 = 2/5(x - 2), or y = 2/5x - 9/5
Step-by-step explanation:
for this you'll need point-slope form, which is:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m = slope
the slope is 2/5, because parallel lines have the same slope.
plug values in:
y - (-1) = 2/5(x - 2)
y + 1 = 2/5(x - 2)
if you want this in mx + b form:
y + 1 = 2/5(x - 2)
y + 1 = 2/5x - 4/5
y = 2/5x - 9/5
