Use the slope of the given line to construct a parallel line
through point P. Click or tap the graph to plot another point on
the parallel line.

y = - x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Calculate the slope m of the given line using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = = - , thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute P(- 3, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 3 - 4 = - 7

y = - x - 7 ← equation of parallel line

x=4
