Question

A line has the equation y = 2x + 8. There is a line parallel to the other line passing through (2,0) what is the equation for the line passing through (2,0)

Answer 1

y = 2x - 4

Explanation:

The slope of parallel lines are equal.

Slope = 2. Point (2,0) (x,y)

y - y = m(x-x)

y - 0 = 2(x - 2)

y = 2x - 4
