Question

find the equation for the line through (1 -6) and parallel to y=2x-2

Answer 1

Ok so this will be easy, a line only needs 2 points. We already have one, (1, -6) and we have the slope. We know the slope is 2 or 2/1 because we know that it has the same slope as the equation y=2x-2. So there are a few ways you could solve this. What I would do, is make a line with a point that starts at (1, -6) and the go up 2 and over 1. Then write an equation
