What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 2x + 3 and

passes through the point (-2, 1)?
O A. y = 2x + 5
O B. y--3x+2
O C. y=-3x
O D. y = 2x-5

y=2x+3
then you take the same slope since it’s parallel
y=2x+b
then plug in the coordinates
1=2(-2)+b
then solve for b
1=-4+b
b=5
so it’s y=2x+5
