Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (−1,3) and is parallel to the line y=2x+2

y=?

Show steps please

Answer 1

Start off by writing the equation y = mx - b. Then plug in what you do know

3 = 2(-1) - b (m is the slope and parallel lines have the same slope). Then solve

3 = -2 - b

+2 +2

5 = b

So y = 2x + 5
