Question

Can someone explain this exercise please?

Line k: y = ax + b is parallel to l: y = 5x +3.
Line k passes through point P(1,6).
Calculate the values of a and b.​

Answer 1

a = 5 and b= 1

Explanation:

Line k: y = ax + b is parallel to l: y = 5x +3. same slope : 5 so : a = 5

Line k passes through point P(1,6). when x = 1 y = 6

6 = 5(1) +b

b= 1
