Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 6)and parallel to y = x - 8.

y = 2x + 7
y = x + 5
y = 2x + 5
y = x + 7

Answer 1

the first one i think

Answer 2

The parallel line has a slope of 1 since the slope of y = x-8 is also 1.


y = mx+b


6 = (1)(-2)+b


6 = -2+b


6+2 = b


8 = b


b = 8


So the equation of the parallel line is y = x+8
