Question

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is parallel to the line y = 3x + 2 and passes through the point (5, 2). 
 
A.   y = 3x – 5  
B.   y = 3x – 13  
C.   y = 3x – 1  
D.   y = 3x + 2

aripotta · Answer

alright, put the equation in point-slope form first

aripotta · Answer

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m would be 3, because they're parallel lines. x1 would be 5 and y1 would be 2

aripotta · Answer

so once you have the point-slope form, you can switch around to get slope-intercept form
