Question

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

y = 2x − 7

y = −1/2x − 2

y = 2x − 2

y = −1/2x − 7

Answer 1

Parallel=same slope

Answer 2

So plug in the same slop into point slope with the point (5,3) like before and you'll get one of these answers^^^^

Answer 3

do you get what he said? or do u want me to explain it?

Answer 4

i want the answer!

Answer 5

we are not allowed to just give the answers...we can get suspended...believe me, I know from past experience

Answer 6

chris said he could explain it...you should listen to him and learn

Answer 7

alright. parralel lines have the same slope. ok

Answer 8

so any parralel line has the form

Answer 9

but this particular line must travel through a particular point. this point being (5, 3)

Answer 10

i.e x=5 y=3

Answer 11

okay im keeping up...

Answer 12

so what do u think we should do with x=5 y=3?

Answer 13

it is going to have the same slope....so what is the slope of the parallel line your looking for ?

Answer 14

y = mx + b....the slope being m
Look at your equation...y = 2x + 2...what is the slope ?

Answer 15

Got it the anwer is A!

Answer 16

let me check...hold on

Answer 17

correct

Answer 18

woo hoo!

Answer 19

y = mx + b using slope 2 and points (5,3)
3 = 2(5) + b
3 = 10 + b
3 - 10 = b
-7 = b

your new equation is : y = 2x - 7
you are correct :)

Answer 20

i dont know who to give my medal to... im sorry you all helped! :( sooooo, first to respond to this question with an @mikezack123 gets the medal
