Question

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

A:y = 2x − 7

B: y = −one halfx − 2

C: y = 2x − 2

D: y = −one halfx − 7

Answer 1

The easiest way to do is by using the point-slope equation :)

Parallel Lines have the same slope.
So find the slope of the line given to you.

And we also know a point it should pass through. :D
So use the equation => y-y1= m(x-x1)

Understood? :)

Answer 2

@MathHater1994 ?

Answer 3

LOL NOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT AT ALL I DONT UNDERSTAND

Answer 4

@AkashdeepDeb

Answer 5

IM NOT GRAPHING

Answer 6

Okay.
No probz :)
Do you know the point slope form of an equation?

Answer 7

I am not telling you to graph ANYTHING.

Answer 8

The way the question is typed here is how it is i dont have to graph anything i just choose A,B,C,D, But i really dont understand how to do it with out a graph

Answer 9

See the question you typed has said you have a line given already and we have one more point near it.
We have to find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line given to us.
Got it?
Now tell me if you know that form of the line.

Answer 10

No i dont , what i typed is all they gave me in the question

Answer 11

Do you know how to find slope?

Answer 12

ive learned it but ive forgotten how to do Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Answer 13

Okay.

Answer 14

And then follow the instructions I gave.
You should get your answer. :)

Answer 15

@AkashdeepDeb is the Answer B?

Answer 16

Why do you think so?

Answer 17

@MathHater1994 ?

Answer 18

noooo sorry about that i just doubled check the answer would be 2x-7

Answer 19

EXCELLENT!!
The answer should be
y = 2x - 7 :D

Answer 20

Lol thank u soooo much, hopefully you'll be able to help me with my next problem

Answer 21
