Question

What is an equation of the line that’s parallel to y =5x-7 and passes through (1, 11)

Answer 1

the desired equation is y = 5x + 6.

Explanation:

Any line parallel to y = 5x - 7 has the same slope (5).

Using the slope-intercept formula,

y = mx + b ↔ 11 = 5(1) + b, or b = 6.

Then the desired equation is y = 5x + 6.
