Question

The equation of a line is y = –2x + 1. What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the first line and passes through (2, 2)?


A.
y = –2x + 6
B.
y = 2x – 2
C.
y = –2x – 2
D.
y = 1/2x + 1

Answer 1

@phi

Answer 2

Y - y1=m(x-x1)

So plug in those values,

Btw, in y = –2x + 1

-2x is m or the slope

Answer 3

y = -2x + 1
Parallel lines have equal slopes...thus...
the new line has to begin like this...
y = -2x + b

Plug in (2, 2) to solve for b

(2) = -2(2) + b
2 = -4 + b
6 = b

Plug in b into equation...
and get...

y = -2x + 6

Ta-da!
