HELP PLEASE!!
The equation of line AB is y = 2x + 4. Write an equation of a line parallel to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains point (3, −2).

Answers: y = 2x + 4

y = negative 1 over 2x − 1 over 2

y = − 1 over 2x − 7 over 2

y = 2x − 8

step one
find the slope (with your eyeballs) of $ y = 2x + 4$

anonymous · Answer

2x?

anonymous · Answer

well close, it is the number $2$ without the variable

anonymous · Answer

oh ok well 2

anonymous · Answer

step 2
know that a parallel line has the same slope, so the slope of the line you are looking for is also $2$

anonymous · Answer

so that leaves us with only answers a & b?

anonymous · Answer

step3
write the points slope formula $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ with 
$$m=2,x_1=3,y_1=-2$$

anonymous · Answer

actually leaves A and D right?

anonymous · Answer

yes my mistake hold on im solving it now!

anonymous · Answer

k

anonymous · Answer

y-2=2(x-3), so y-2= 2x-6

anonymous · Answer

careful here

anonymous · Answer

oh now i add the 2 to the other side to cancel it out

anonymous · Answer

$y_1=-2$ so 
$$y-y_1=y+2$$ on the left

anonymous · Answer

so y=2x-8?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

thank you!

hope it is more or less clear
