	C.	y = 3x – 1
	D.	y = 3x + 2

nubeer · Answer

when lines are parallel they have the same slope..
so m = 3 , (5,2)

nubeer · Answer

now use this formula
y-y1= m (x-x1)

anonymous · Answer

i dont know how i dont know any of this

nubeer · Answer

m= 3, x1 = 5 , y1 = 2
just plug these values into the formula

anonymous · Answer

no help at all bro i dont know this

nubeer · Answer

ok lets start plugging in the values.
y- 2 = 3 (x-5)
now just open the bracket and multiply rest is simple arithmatic.

@somebodys_heartbrake did you get the answer yet? or are you waiting for someone else to solve it for you?

lstrasmann · Answer

$$y - 2 = 3(x - 5)$$

lstrasmann · Answer

what would you do to solve for y?
