Question

Through: (-3,-5), parallel to y = 2x + 2​

Answer 1

y = 2x + 1

Explanation:

Since you have an equation and a point, all you need to do is substitute the coordinates into the equation and then solve for the y-intercept (or "b"):

y = mx + b

y = 2x + 2

(-3, -5)

-5 = 2(-3) + b

-5 = -6 + b

-5 + 6 = b

b = 1

Now you have your final equation:

y = 2x + 1

*Remember that parallel lines have the same slope, so finding a new slope is not needed!
