What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, 5) and is parallel to the line y = -3x + 5?

Answer 1

y=-3x + b

5 = 3 + b

b =2

the equation is

y=-3x + 2

to be parallel means the slopes are equal, or the coefficient of the x terms are equal, both -3

then plug in the point to solve for b, the y intercept
