What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,2) and is parallel to the line 3x + y = 3?

y = - 3x - 1

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 )

Given

3x + y = 3 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

y = - 3x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 3 = - 1

y = - 3x - 1 ← equation of parallel line

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
