Write an equation of the line passing through the point (2, -1) and parallel to the line . Give your answer in slope-intercept form. Show all work. First determine the slope of the line y = 3x – 5. Put this same slope (since the two lines are parallel) into m and the point (2, -1) into (x1, y1) in the equation.

y – y 1 = m ( x – x1)

Then simplify the equation for y and put into slope-intercept form.
