Question

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is parallel to the line y = 3x +2 and passes through the point (5, 2).
	A.	y = 3x – 5
	B.	y = 3x – 13
	C.	y = 3x – 1
	D.	y = 3x + 2

It's B

ash2326 · Answer

Given line y= 3x+2
standard equation of a line y=mx+c, m is slope, c is intercept
for given line m=3 
line parallel to it will also have a slope of 3
so let its equation be
y=3x+c
c?
the line passes through (5,2)
2=3*5+c
2=15+c
c=-13
y=3x-13
option B
