Question

write an equation of the line that passes through (-1,7) and is parrallel to the line whose equation is y=-2x-5

Answer 1

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, line needs to be parallel. Therefore, it should have the same slope.

y = -2x + b

Plugin the points and solve for y-intercept

(-1,7)

7 = -2(-1) + b

7 = 2 + b

-2   -2

5 = b

Plug it all in

y = -2x +5
