Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.
y=2x-4; (1, -1)


Some help please?!

Answer 1

Parallel lines have the same slope; therefore, m = 2
Point-slope form of a line:
\[y-y1=m(x-x1)\]
\[y+1=2(x-1)\]
\[y=2x-1\]

Answer 2

y=2x-3, sorry

Answer 3

If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope. The slope of your lines is 2. So your line should look like 2x+m.
2+m=-1 => m=-3. So your equation is y=2x-3.
