Question

2)
Write an equation of the line that is parallel to -x + y = 5 and passes through the point (2, -5).
A) y = x - 7
B) y = x - 5
C) y = x - 3
D) y = -x - 3

Answer 1

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

-x + y = 5

y = x + 5

Slope = 1

y + 5 = 1(x - 2)

y + 5 = x - 2

y = x - 2 - 5

y = x - 7
