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

Remember: Use y= mx + b
if its parallel then it will have the sane slope, (m) in this case, 2
Then you put in 5 for x, and 3 for y into the equation
Isolate your b (y = mx + b)
(solve for b)
b = -7
Now you have 2x, and -7 (so put into the equation)
y= 2x - 7 should be your answer
