Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line and through the given point y=-2x+1 point (0,5)

Answer 1

y = -2x+5

Explanation:

y = -2x+1 is in the form y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

-2 is the slope

Parallel lines have the same slope so our new line will have the same slope

y = -2x+b

The point given is the y intercept (value when x is zero)

b = 5

y = -2x+5
