Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line is parallel to y=-x-1 and passes through the point (5,-5)

*35 points*

Answer 1

Explanation:

y = -x - 1

the slope here is -1. A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b

slope(m) = -1

(5,-5)....x = 5 and y = -5

now we sub....we are looking for b, the y int

-5 = -1(5) + b

-5 = -5 + b

-5 + 5 = b

0 = b

so ur equation is : y = -x + 0....or just y = -x
