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

Lines parallel have the same slope. The slope in your first equation is 2. So the line parallel and passing through point (5,3) is found by plugging in your point to find the new C

3=2(5)+C

So C= -7

And your equation is

y=2x-7
