To find the equation of the translated line, we first start with the original line equation:
\[ y = -x + 1. \]
Now, we will translate this line 2 units to the right and 2 units up.
1. **Translation to the right (2 units):**
- When we translate a graph to the right, we replace \(x\) with \(x - a\) where \(a\) is the number of units we move to the right. Here, \(a = 2\).
- So, we replace \(x\) in the original equation:
\[ y = - (x - 2) + 1. \]
This simplifies to:
\[ y = -x + 2 + 1 = -x + 3. \]
2. **Translation upwards (2 units):**
- When moving the graph up by \(b\) units, we add \(b\) to the equation. Here, \(b = 2\).
- Adding 2 to our equation:
\[ y = -x + 3 + 2 = -x + 5. \]
Thus, the equation of the translated line is:
\[
\boxed{y = -x + 5}.
\]
\[ y = -x + 1. \]
