Question

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line described:

through: (-3,-5), parallel to y=2x+2

Please give a CLEAR explanation of how to do this, I have a whole packet to do and a quiz tomorrow.

Answer 1

y=mx+b
m=slope
y=2x+2
m=2=sllope
paralell lines have the same slope

the paralell ine is y=2x+b
find b
(-3,-5)
x=-3 and y=-5
-5=2(-3)+b
-5=-6+b
add 6 to both sides
1=b

y=2x+1 is answer
