Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.

y = 2x + 7; (3, 11)

Answer 1

same idea as last time

y = 2x+7 has a slope of 2

So any parallel line to this one also has a slope of 2, therefore m = 2

The point is (3,11) so (x,y) = (3,11) ---> x = 3, y = 11

Answer 2

y = mx+b

y = 2x+b

11 = 2*3 + b

b = ???

Answer 3

i multiplied 2*3 and got 6 of course now this is how it looks
to me

Answer 4

11 = 2*3 + b

11 = 6 + b

b = ???

Answer 5

\[11=6\]

Answer 6

do i have to divide something on both sides ??

Answer 7

6 plus NUMBER = 11

what must replace NUMBER ?

Answer 8

4 >.>

Answer 9

6 + 4 = 11 ?

Answer 10

oops 5

Answer 11

6 + 5 = 11, yep

Answer 12

so b = 5
