Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation parallel to y = 7x + 2, which passes through the point (1, -3).


A. y = 7x - 10
B. y = -1/7 x + 2
C. y = 7x - 3
D. y = -7x + 10

Answer 1

first they should have same slope i.e. 7

Answer 2

well if it's parallel then use the same slope, which in this case is 7
Just put it into the point-slope fomula:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
The x1 and y1 come from the listed points

Answer 3

then solve it, and leave it in y=mx+b

Answer 4

then substitute the values in the equation
(y- y1)=m(x-x1)

Answer 5

(y- y1)=m(x-x1)
