Question

Which equation in slope-intercept form represents a line that passes through the point (5,−1) and is parallel to the line y=2x−7?

Answer 1

y = 2x - 11

Explanation:

In y = 2x - 7, the slope is 2.

A slope parallel to this would also be 2.

y = 2x + b

-1 = 2(5) + b

-1 = 10 + b

b = -11

y = 2x - 11
