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 + 14

D. y = x

Answer 1

First of all parallel equation share the same slope so our slope for the new equation would be 1 and we have the point (2,16)
We can use slope intercept form to make up the equation
Y-y1 = m(x - x1)
Where m is the slope
Y - 16 = 1(x -2)
Y - 16 = x -2
Y = x + 14
