Question

A line has the equation y = 1/3x - 5 . Find the equation of a parallel line passing through the point (3, 2).

Answer 1

The answer is y=1/3x+1

Explanation:

y=mx+b

m=1/3

y-y=m(x-x1)

y-2=1/3(x-3)

y-2= 1/3x-1

+2 +2

y=1/3x+1

Answer 2

Answer: y=1/3x+1

Y needs to be changed in order to maintain parallelism.

Good Luck!
