Since the line that passes through (-2, 5) it is parallel to the line with equation y = -x -1 and slope -1, then its slope is also -1, as parallel lines have the same slope.
In order to write the point-slope form of that line, we use the slope m = -1 and the point (x1, y1) = (-2, 5), such as
(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = -1(x - -2)
y - 5 = -1(x + 2)
y - 5 = -x - 2 (solve for y to obtain the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line)
y - 5 + 5 = -x + 5 - 2 (add 5 to both sides)
y = -x + 3
Thus, the slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-2, 5) and parallel to the line with equation y = -x -1, is y = -x + 3.

What is the first step in solving the equation 7q plus 9 equals 3?
the first step in solving the equation is to subtract the nine from the three. you will get negative 6.
When having a negative and a positive sign do you add or subtract?
If two negaitve signs occur next to each other in an equation, as in 4 -(-2) then the two negatives becomes a positive and you add the two to get 6. Otherwise, you just do what the equation states: -5 + 3 you add; =-2. -5 - 3 you subtract; = -8

Lets say you have a equation can you subtract x from x?
No, you need to find out the numbers to subtract then subtract.
What do you get when you subtract a negative integer from a positive integer?
You will get a positive integer. If you subtract a negative number, you will be adding it. I think of it like 2 minuses equals a plus. :P
How do you subtract a positive number by a negative number?
A little awkwardly phrased, so I'll answer both ways. To subtract a negative from anything, add its positive. To subtract a positive from a negative, the equation is treated as though you are adding two postives, the result is negative.

Does an inequality sign change in an equation when both sides are multipled or divided by negative number?
The sign changes if you multiply/divide by a negative number. It stays the same if you add/subtract by a negative number.
What is negative subtract a plus?
A negative.
What does x equal in the equation x plus 5 equals negative 13?
Set up the equation and solve: x + 5 = -13 (next subtract 5 from each side of the equation to solve for x) x = -18
What is the equation for calculating time?
To calculate standard time, subtract the equation of time from the sundial time, then subtract the longitude from the answer you get.
What is the answer if you subtract positive twentyseven from negative sixtynine?
If you subtract positive twenty-seven from negative sixty-nine, you would get negative forty-two. You simply subtract the 27 from the 69 but leave the negative sign.
What is p in the equation negative 10 plus p equal 29?
10+p=29 If you subtract 10 from both sides, you get: p=19
What is negative 2 plus negative 8?
well since they have the same signs you add them together and since 2 plus 8 is ten the answer is -10
What will you do subtract in six to make it nine?
Subtract negative 3.
What do you do when subtracting a positive and a negative?
If you subtract a negative from a positive, add both of their absolute values. If you subtract a positive from a negative, add both of their absolute values and multiply by negative one.
