The given line passes through the points (0, −3) and (2, 3). What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (−1, −1)? y + 1 = (x + 1)

I think the answer is y+1=3(x+1)
not y+1=(x+1)
hope it helps you.

the given line passes through the the points (0,-3) and (2,3)
so,x1=0, x2=2, y1= -3 ,y2=3:
the slope(m1) of the given line=m1=y2 - y1/x2 -x1 =(3-(-3))/(2-0)=6/2=3
hence,m1=3
the line that is parallel to the given line has slope(m2)
as we know,the slopes of two parallel lines ⇒m1=m2
∵m1=3 so m2 also equal to 3
∴m2=3
it passes through the points (-1,-1)
(if we have one slope and one point then we can apply this formula for finding the eq)
(y-y1)=m2(x-x1)
y1= -1 and x1= -1(putting these values )
(y-(-1))=3(x-(-1))
(y+1)=3(x+1) it's the req eq
