Question

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

y = 2x - 7
y = - x - 2
y = 2x - 2
y = - x - 7

Answer 1

what is the slope of your two lines? :) looking at y = 2x + 2 ( y = mx + b, where m = slope)
note: parallel lines have the same slope

Answer 2

plug in 5 with X and with y in the answers they gave you

Answer 3

and 3 with Y

Answer 4

SO have 3 for all the Y'S and 5 for all the X's to see if they give you three

Answer 5

so is either a or c correct?

Answer 6

did A and C give you three ?

Answer 7

3= 2 x 5 - 7
3 = - 5 - 2
3= 2 x 5 - 2
3= - 5- 7
which statement is true?

Answer 8

yes it will either be A or C because they both have m = 2.
Now, you plug in the point (5, 3) where x = 5 and y = 3 and see which one satisfies teh equation

Answer 9

is A

Answer 10

so its A??

Answer 11

yes !

Answer 12

thank you!!

Answer 13

you seen how i got it. all you do is plug in

Answer 14

but you welcome :) * best response *
