The problem consists of several sub-problems related to lines in a 2D plane. First, we need to find the intersection point of pairs of lines (problems 1-4). Second, we need to find the equation of a line $L_2$ that passes through a given point $P$ and is parallel to a given line $L_1$ (problems 5-8). Finally, we need to find the equation of a line $L_2$ that passes through a given point $P$ and is perpendicular to a given line $L_1$ (problems listed as 1 and 4 at the end). I will solve the 5th problem. Find the equation of a line $L_2$ that passes through $P(-1, 1)$ and is parallel to $L_1: x - y + 5 = 0$.

1. Problem Description
The problem consists of several sub-problems related to lines in a 2D plane.
First, we need to find the intersection point of pairs of lines (problems 1-4).
Second, we need to find the equation of a line that passes through a given point and is parallel to a given line (problems 5-8).
Finally, we need to find the equation of a line that passes through a given point and is perpendicular to a given line (problems listed as 1 and 4 at the end).
I will solve the 5th problem. Find the equation of a line that passes through and is parallel to .
2. Solution Steps
To find the equation of line , we need its slope and a point it passes through. Since is parallel to , they have the same slope.
First, let's find the slope of . We can rewrite the equation of in slope-intercept form (), where is the slope:
The slope of is .
Since is parallel to , its slope is also .
Now we know the slope of and a point that it passes through. We can use the point-slope form of a line:
where is the point and is the slope. Plugging in , , and :
Rewriting in the standard form:
.
3. Final Answer
The equation of the line is .
