Question

Write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through the given point and is parralel to the given line (-1,3) y=2x+2

Answer 1

y = 2x + 5

Explanation:

y = mx + b : Slope Intercept Form

Our m (slope) does not change, but our b (y-intercept) does.

Step 1: Plug in all numbers except b

y = 2x + b

3 = 2(-1) + b

Solve

5 = b

Step 2: Add slope and intercept into equation

y = 2x + 5
