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

If the line is parallel, it will have the same slope as the original equation, therefore you can get rid of A and D. To finish solving, you write an equation that looks like this:\[-5=2(1)+b \] Then solve for b.
-5=2+b
-7=b So the answer is y=2x-7.
