Write the equation of the line that passes through (-1, 3) and is parallel to the line y = - x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - x + 1 ... same as y = - 1x + 1 ... in y = mx + b form, ur slope is in the m position ... so the slope of this line is - 1.

a parallel line will have the same slope.

(-1,3) ... x = - 1 and y = 3

slope (m) = - 1

y = mx + b ... we have x, y, and m ... now we need to find y int (b)

3 = - 1 (-1) + b

3 = 1 + b

3 - 1 = b

2 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = - 1x + 2 ... or just y = - x + 2
