Write an equation for the line that contains (-5,3) and is parallel to y = -x - 7.

The parallel line would have an equation of y = -x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of this line, we first have to note that parallel lines have same slopes. Therefore, since the original line has a slope of -1, we know the new line will have a slope of -1. Now we can use that information along with the given point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = -1(x + 5)

y - 3 = -x - 5

y = -x - 2

dilation scale factor 2: starting with δabc, draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of two. notice that every coordinate of the original triangle has been multiplied by the scale factor (x2). dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.
