Find the equation of the line parallel to -2x +y = 3, that passes through the point
(-3,-1). Write your answer in slope-intercept form. Do not use spaces in your
answer. Enter any fractions like a/b or -a/b.

Answer:

y=-2x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert -2x+y=3 to an expression in slope-intercept form. This will be written as y=-2x+3.

Parallel lines have the same slope.

So, the slope of the new line will also be -2x.

Now, use the given coordinates and put them and the slope into point-slope form.

Point slope: y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+3=-2(x+3)

Finally, distribute -2 to (x+3) and simplify the equation.

y+3=-2x-6

y=-2x-9
