What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,5) and parallel to the line x-y=6

Answer 1

y= x-6 has slope = 1 = m, a parallel line has the same slope

y=x+b where b is the y intercept. Solve for b by plugging in the point (-1,5)

5 = -1 + b

b = 6

y=x + 6 is the parallel line through the point (-1,5)
