Question

The equation of line AB is y = 2x + 4. Write an equation of a line parallel to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains point (3, ?2).

Answer 1

The equation would be y = 2x - 8

Explanation:

The equation of the line would have a slope of 2, since parallel lines have the same slope. We can use that and the point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 2 = 2(x - 3)

y + 2 = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 8
