Write an eaquation that is parallel to the line y=3x-5 and passes through the point -1,2

Answer 1

Hello there,

write an eaquation that is parallel to the line y=3x-5 and passes through the point -1,2

y=5x+7

Answer 2

y=5x+7

Explanation:

For the equation y=3x-5, the slope is 3 and the slope of the new line will be 3 because parallel lines have the same slope. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.

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

y-2=5(x+1)

y-2=5x+5

y=5x+7
