Question

Find an equation for the line:

through (1, –6) and parallel to y = 2x – 2

Answer 1

Parallel lines is another way of saying both have the same slope.
To find the equation you need a point and a slope, and plug it in this form:
\[y-y_1=m(x-x1)\]
where x1 and y1 is your point and m is the slope
