Find the equation of the line that passes through (1,0) and is parallel to y=2x+6

Question

amistre64 · Answer

y = 2x+c  and plug in your point to determine "c"

anonymous · Answer

what? :/

amistre64 · Answer

refer to first post .....

anonymous · Answer

What does plug in mean? :L

anonymous · Answer

In order to find the parallel of any line simply flip over the mx or in this case 2x giving you y=1/2x+6. I presume...

anonymous · Answer

plug in means place the numbers there.

amistre64 · Answer

plug in means ; use the (x,y) point given and plug in those values for x and y into the equation to determine a value for "c"

amistre64 · Answer

parallel is same slope; perp is flipped and negate slope

anonymous · Answer

so whats the answer?

anonymous · Answer

yea so the answer for the parallel would be -1/2x+6.

anonymous · Answer

@beautifulgirl, you have parallel confused with perpendicular

anonymous · Answer

parallel lines have the same slope

anonymous · Answer

@hellllnowewon'tgo
line has slope 2, goes through (1,0) equation is 
$$y=2(x-1)$$ or 
$$y=2x-2$$
