Write an equation of the line passing through point P(0, −1)P(0, −1) that is parallel to the line y = −2x+3y = −2x+3.

Parallel lines have the same slope

The equation of the line is:

The equation is given as:

The slope intercept equation of a line is:

Where

slope

By comparison

From the question, we understand that the line is parallel to

This means that they have the same slope,

The equation of the line is then calculated using:

This gives

Open bracket

Hence, the equation of the line is:

See attachment for the graph of both lines

y = - 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the line has equation y = - 2x + 3

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 2x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

Note the line passes through (0, - 1) ⇒ c = - 1

y = - 2x - 1 ← equation of parallel line
