Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (5, 3)?

Answer 1

This line being parallel has the same gradient.
So m = 2.
Then we use the 1 point formula with the point (5,3)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = 2(x - 5) --> y - 3 = 2x - 10 so y =2x -7.

Answer 2

thank you so much!
