The equation of line cis y = x + 3. Parallel to line c is line d, which passes through the point (-4, -5). What is the equation of line d?​

Respuesta :

Answer:  y= x -1  

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slopes but different y-intercepts.  This means that line d will have the same slope as line c because they will be parallel.  We will use the coordinates of the given point to find the y-intercept of line d by inputting it into the formula y=mx +b . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept .  

 -5 = 1(-4) + b

-5 = -4 + b  

+4    +4

b = -1  

The equation will be y= x -1    sine the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is -1.
