Question

Write a line parallel to y = 2x+4 and passing through the point (3,8)

Answer 1

parallel lines have the same slope, so we're looking at a slope of 2 here...so we have y=2x+b.....so no, we're going to fill in our x and y value from the point. we get....

8 = 2(3) + b
8=6 + b
2 = b.

So, the final equation would be y = 2x + 2
