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

Ok, so we know that the slope has to be equal to 2. So check.

Now, lets set up a simple equation with the formula for slope. So...

y - 5/ x- 3 = 2
y - 5 = 2(x-3)
y - 5 = 2x - 6
y = 2x -1

Answer 2

Btw, if you're not getting what he said, he use point-slope form
\[y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})\]
