Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. y = x + 8; (2, 16)
A. y = x + 6
B. y = x – 6
C. y = x
D. y = x + 14

Answer 1

parallel lines have the same slope
slope of given line = 1 so slope of parallel line = 1
points on the line (2, 16) and (x, y)
using point slope formula to find eqn of a line given 2 points on the line
y-16=1(x-2)
can you finish and match with the ans choice?
