Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (5, 3).

y = 2x - 7

y = - one halfx - 2

y = 2x - 2

y = - one halfx - 7

Answer 1

The slope of the given equation:
y=2x+2

So, the slope of the new equation is the same: 2

Use the formula: y=m(x)+b and input the slope and given point:
3=2(5)+b

Solve for b:
3=10+b
b=-7

Use the same formula, without the (y) and (x) values, use the variables:
y=2x-7


Answer:
y=-2x+14
-OR-
2x+y=14
