Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.

Answer 1

Remember that the standard form of a line equation is y = mx + b. Since you need a line that is parallel to y = 5x - 2, the first thing to do is use the same slope (m), which is 5 in this case. The new line would look like this: y = 5x + b.Nov 5, 2020
