$y = - 1 \cdot x - 1 is the slope-intercept form of the equation$ $color(magenta)(y = -1 * x -1 " is the slope-intercept form of the equation"$

Given line ; $x + y = 13$ $x + y = 13$

$y = - 1 \cdot x + 13$ $y = -1 * x + 13$

$:. "Slope " = m = -1$

Equation of the parallel line passing through " $(-8,7)$ is

$y - y_1 = m * (x - x_1)$

$y - 7 = -1 * (x + 8)$

$color(magenta)(y = -1 * x -1 " is the slope-intercept form of the equation"$

graph{-x -1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the point (-8, 7) and parallel to the line: x + y = 13x+y=13x + y = 13?
