Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (1, -5) and parallel to y = 2x + 4.

y = -2x + 7

y = 2x - 3

y = 2x - 7

y = -2x + 3

Answer 1

i plugged them in but i got a weird answer

Answer 2

-5=2(1)+4

Answer 3

Since they r parallel Slopes are =

Answer 4

ie m1 = m2

Answer 5

coption is right

Answer 6

y = 2x + 4.

Slope = 2

Answer 7

(1, -5)

y + 5 = 2(x-1)

y + 5 = 2x - 2

y = 2x - 7

Answer 8

slope=2 since slopes are same for parallel lines.
\(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)
\(y-(-5)=2(x-1)\)
solve for y and u will get the answer.
Can u do it @carachronic?
