Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (5, 3)

Answer 1

parallel=same slope

y=mx+b , m=2 , (5,3)
3=2(5)+b
3=10+b
-7=b

y=2x-7

Answer 2

y = 2x + 2
if the equation is parallel to the equation above, then
it should be in the form of y = 2x + c
by substituting the point (5,3) into the this general equation,
c = 3 - 10 = -7
so that the equation is y = 2x - 7.
