Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (5, 3).

A. y = 2x − 7

B. y = −1/2x − 2

C. y = 2x − 2

D. y = −1/2x − 7

Answer 1

Use:\[y - y _{1} = m(x - x _{1})\]where "m" is your slope value from your original equation that is in the form y = mx + b

Answer 2

(5, 3) is your point (x1, y1). So, now you can substitute and simplify.

Answer 3

wait, what?..

Answer 4

what?
