Question

Input the correct values into the point-slope

formula.
y - [?] = [](x - [ ])
A. 3
A line is parallel to y = 3x - 2 and
intersects the point (3, 5).
C. -2
B. 5
D. 1/3

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

then slope of parallel line is 3

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m = 3 and (a, b ) = (3, 5 ) , then

y - 5 = 3(x - 3) ← equation of parallel line in point- slope form
