Answer:

D. y = x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallel line will have the same slope, so the line will also have a slope of 1.

Plug in the slope and the given point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

-2 = 1(1) + b

-2 = 1 + b

-3 = b

Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b:

y = mx + b

y = x - 3

So, the equation is D. y = x - 3
