Question

Write the equation of the line that passes

through the point (2, -1) and is parallel to
y = 2x + 2

Answer 1

y = 2x - 5

Explanation:

the line will be parallel to y = 2x + 2, which means it will have the same slope

m = 2

through point (2, -1) for (x1, y1)

y - y1 = m(x- x1)

y - (-1) = 2 (x - 2)

y + 1 = 2 (x - 2)

y + 1 = 2x - 4, simplify

y = 2x - 5
