Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described. Through (-2, -1) and parallel to y=-2x-1

y= -2x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form:

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Thus, to find the value of the slope of the line, we have to find the slope of the given line.

y= -2x -1

Since the coefficient of x is -2 and the equation is already in slope-intercept form, the slope of the given line is -2.

Substitute m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x= -2, y= -1,

-1= -2(-2) +c

-1= 4 +c

c= -1 -4 (-4 on both sides)

c= -5

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -2x -5.

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7
