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).

Question

thomas5267 · Answer

A linear equation is in the form of $y=mx+b$.  If two linear equations are parallel to each other, they have same $m$.  (i.e. the two equations differs by a constant.)  Hence, the problem is actually finding a equation in the form of $y=3x+b$ where $y=2$ when $x=5$.  Try it now.
