Answer:
y = - 3x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 3x + 8 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes, then
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (2, - 1) into the partial equation
- 1 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = - 1 + 6 = 5
y = - 3x + 5 ← equation of line
