Answer: y = 3x + 1
Explanation:
In the equation y=mx+b (slope - intercept form), m represents the slope and b represents the y - intercept of the equation. We can use this to answer the problem.
Because the problem specifies here that the equation we are trying to solve for is parallel to y= 3x - 5, we can assume that its slope is 3 (the same as the line it is parallel to - this is so because of the definition of parallel lines).
m = 3
And finally, we know that the y-intercept will be in the form (0, b) - which is exactly what the given point is in. Substitute the value in, and we get:
b = 1
Now put these two values into one equation.
y = mx + b
y = (3)x + (1)
y = 3x + 1
