Answer 1

Based on the graph shown below, the equation of line P is y = 3x + 1.

In Mathematics and Geometry, the point-slope form of a straight line can be calculated by using the following mathematical equation (formula):

`y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)`

Where:

• x and y represent the data points.
• m represent the slope.

First of all, we would determine the slope of the downward sloping line by using these points (3, 2) and (0, -7);

`Slope(m)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Slope (m) = (-7 - 2)/(0 - 3)

Slope (m) = -9/-3

Slope (m) = 3

Since the lines are parallel, they must have the same slope.

At data point (2, 7) and a slope of 3, an equation for this line can be calculated by using the point-slope form as follows:

y - 7 = 3(x - 2)

y = 3x - 6 + 7

y = 3x + 1
