Question

How do I write an equation of a line that goes through point (4, –5) and is parallel to line y = 2x + 8?

Answer 1

Parallel lines have equal slope

Answer 2

right?

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

Now,
y=2x+c , where c is the constant.
will be the equation of the required line.

Answer 5

(4, –5) use this point to find the value of c

Answer 6

got it?

Answer 7

Not quite.

Answer 8

y=2x+c
Now, Since the line passes through point (4,-5)
-5=2*4 +c
c=-13

Answer 9

Now, substitute c in y=2x+c and get the equation of the line

Answer 10

Ooooh, I see. Thank you!
