Question

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (-2, 5) and is parallel to a line with a slope of 3?

Answer 1

A. y = 3x + 1
B. y = 3x + 5
C. y = 3x + 7
D. y = 3x + 11

Answer 2

You know a POINT on the line and the SLOPE of the line. Why don't you use POINT-SLOPE form?

Answer 3

Which is:
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 4

Use point-slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 3(x + 2)

y - 5 = 3x + 6

y = 3x + 11

*Parallel lines have the same slope, but different y-intercepts.
