Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (5, 3).  

Background material:  two lines that are parallel have the same slope.  What is the slope of  the line y = 2x + 2?

Once you have that slope, you'll watn to use the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line.  I highly recommend that you look up and write down the most common forms of the equation of a straight line:  the point-slope form and the slope-intercept form.

Please find the slope of the given line now.  How have you done this in the past?
