Question
Write in point-slope form the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.$$y=x+5,(-1,-1)$$
Step 1
The equation of the line is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope. In this case, the equation is y = x + 5, so the slope is 1. Show more…
