Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. y=5x+8; (2,16)

Answer 1

y = 5x + 8 -- when your equation is in y = mx + b form, the m position is your slope.
The slope of this equation is 5.
A parallel line will have the same slope.

we will now use y = mx + b form
slope(m) = 5
(2,16) x = 2 and y = 16
now we sub
16 = 5(2) + b
16 = 10 + b
16 - 10 = b
6 = b
so your parallel equation is : y = 5x + 6
