Answer 1

Answer:

y=−2x−13.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=−2x−5.

The slope of the parallel line is the same: m=−2.

So, the equation of the parallel line is y=−2x+a.

To find a, we use the fact that the line should pass through the given point: −1=(−2)⋅(−6)+a.

Thus, a=−13.

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=−2x−13.
