Question

Identify an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to y = 5x + 2 that passes through (-6,-1)

Answer 1

`y=5x+29`

Explanation:

`y=mx+b`

Since the line is parallel, the slope, m, will be the same.

Use the point provided to find the y-intercept b:

`-1=5(-6)+b`

`-1=-30+b`

`b=29`

Now, we rewrite the equation:

`y=5x+29`
